There is a certain NZ trait that I discovered after spending many years abroad and one that you've epitomized, Meehole. It seems to affect all of society's strata. It's the one-eyed inability to admit when one is wrong, even in the face of evidence. I don't understand if it's seen as some kind of weakness or it's simply true that ignorance is indeed bliss.

I, along with many others, have a lot of respect for Dr O'Sullivan.
He has done, and is doing, a lot of great medical work amongst the families up North.
Lance O'Sullivan backs Maori Party
New Zealander of the Year Dr Lance O'Sullivan has endorsed the Maori Party, saying it's hard to be popular and still do the right thing.
And the Northland doctor, who said he had turned down several offers to stand in this election, was not ruling out a future in politics.
O'Sullivan has thrown his celebrity behind the Maori Party saying he believed compromise was the best way to advance Maori interests, and the Maori Party was best placed to do that.Last edited by speights boy; 12-08-2014, 12:07 PM.

I am going to vote for the party that in my view works best for the country regardless property investment benefit or disadvantage. For many students issues might not be a 'country' issue, but I care about students traffic cost. :-) So, I will probably go for Green. But, if any other party promises free uni education, I'll probably go for that party. :-)

Because free transport for students isn't necessarily best for the country - it is a minor distraction really.

It is not a 'minor issue' if it wins the Greens lots of votes.
You and I may think it is; but as a cunning pre election announcement (bribe) it may prove to be otherwise.

Enjoy their CGT, if you get lucky.
They are really all a crock. Even if the Cons got
in to a negotiating position, no one knows what's
negotiable except the binding CIR.
You only have to ponder Shonkey's comment
about asset sales: that was our evinced policy
before we were elected, so it shouldn't be seen
as a surprise. (Or the like)
So was getting rid of the Maori Seats.
Big surprise there, eh?
Double talk defined!
