I am glad you asked, it is easy really.

First of all we use the current Health budget for more doctors, nurses and operations (now there is a new approach) we get rid of the bureaucracy so popular with this corrupt govt.

Same with the teachers, bulk funding and pay good teachers what they are worth, the bad ones can find another job.

Right, whats next…public transport, I never said I would fund that so I have no problem there, if it does not pay its way then it must go.

The arts…ZERO and I would personally like to deliver that message.

An end to the treaty gravy train and use that money to build new (and harsher) prisons.

God this is fun…whats next?….oh yeah, introduce a council tax in place of rates.
Ban anybody who is drawing the unemployment benefit from voting and introduce life time limits on beneficiaries, no person (able bodied person) can stay on unemployment or DPB for longer than two years over the course of their lifetime.

And tax cuts for those middle class Kiwis who have been hammered by this corrupt govt.

There is more, much more that I could do to save NZ..if only I had the time.

I finally saw red and changed from Contact to Meridian, after a mid-summer power bill of almost exactly twice what I’d paid the previous summer. In that twelve months, my charges had increased in gradual increments to a total of 30% on line charges, and 20% on usage charges. They had the gall to try to talk me out of closing my account, saying that all energy companies had increased their pricing over that period.

Not true, or at least, not equally true for all animals, as George Orwell would have it put.

Needless to say, I persisted in explaining the maths to the woman at the call-centre, agreeing with her that it really wasn’t her job to deal with this, so how about giving me the marketing department’s e-mail address, and they can have a customer complaint to read - which she did!

In true Telethon spirit, I challenge all other disgruntled power conservors to do the same…

And let’s all enjoy the sunshine while Autumn lasts with it’s Indian summer - I’m off outside

By increasing productivity and reducing big government.

meanwhile readers of this blog are interested to know how you think the country could pay for increased road building, increased public transport, better education, better healthcare and lower taxes.

(I don’t think that cutting funding for the arts and hip hop tours is going to cover it.)

It’s a bit hypocritical to argue for non-costed pie in the sky voodoo economics yourself and then attempt to make a big deal about our spending plans.

Which of course, as you have been told many times, are revenue neutral, which means that we have no plans to increase taxes (on average), so I expect middle NZ will be fine with our plans to pay for social justice.

I was merely pointing out the Machiavellian contortions made to keep us out.

Social Justice is not as expensive as you think…. and it is not a negotiable item. It is something we do stand for and will stand for, and if people think it is too costly they known neither the price nor the value… and they should consider what happens when it is neglected.

True, you are not in govt but you are very much in bed with this corrupt lot, which as far as many voters are concerned makes you just as guilty.

When the Greens choose to abstain on issues (which is an insult to the people who pay their wages) they are in effect supporting this govt.

The average voter thinks the Greens are in coalition with Labour, you had your chance to force an election and once again missed the boat.

About now would the right time for the Greens to strike out and let the public know that they are not labours lap dog, while you are at it perhaps you could let the electorate know in some detail about your policies.

I am sure that middle NZ (the Chardonnay set who currently support you) would be most interested in how you are going to pay for “social justice”

Seems mad to me that Labour can preach sustainablity while their SOE is being given the go ahead for an open-cast coal mine on the West Coast which will not only knock out a decent chunk of the ecosystem, but will also churn out millions of tons of CO2 producing solid pollution.

> the Chinee, for one, ain’t going to stop burning coal until it runs out.

Really, why not? Do you think they are as stupid as us?
