  Either make him totally unfit to govern.

  Yeah, similar thoughts went through my head with the systematic undoing of Winston. It felt like Winston was the real threat to National and we know what Winston thought of National, so KAPOW, BANG! IMO

  What strikes me about the Key government is the sheer lack of rigour in so many of their decisions. It's as if they think they can simply spin any unintended consequences.

  Who can Argue? Key got the vote, remember?

  and a plastic statuette of a Marks & Spencer's shop-girl.

  The 18 month old that we know,(who constantly makes me think of Bob) has an order of tiger (roar), dinosaur (grrrr) and penguin (no sound effect) but there is a little plastic toy soldier that always goes with the animals.When he had access to water at our place, his entourage swam for hours (because the penguin likes water. of course!) I like that these kids relate the human the same as animals.

  don't you get a much better price for them when they're making craploads of money, rather than when they've just hacked their profits?

  If the profits are down, the asset must be cheap, no?Then, who benefits?

  An interesting point that Clayton Cosgrove just mentioned with respect to privatizing the prisons, was that once it is done, there is no one accountable as there is now, and the Minister would not be able to scrutinize a private business.I mean how many CEO's do you see with rolling heads?All I see is a few golden handshakes and the next up for the job.
