I'd be happy to get back the 18cents a litre I'm paying for motorways, busways and rail upgrades in Wellington and Auckland. Has Jim Anderton forgotten where is electorate is? Doesn't he know or care that this tax abuse is costing the Canterbury economy $150 million each year? How big a slice of tax cut would you like?

Prohibition is all hypocritical lies in terms of its evidence base, and all negative in terms of what it delivers, without protecting anyone. (Anyone ever seen the cost-benefit analysis that proves prohibition is essential? - THERE AINT ONE) this sick service delivers up to 20,000 convictions a year a nice little turnover for the police courts corrections and prison mongers and keeps the media happy with lots of crime related stories...and then we have an entire population subculture who are alienated from the system makin no postive contribution to NZ (the underclass) at more expense to us hard working taxpayers. I do not want my tax money spent on 47,000 bureaucrats, policy analysts and grifters - and MPs - all supposedly TACKLING social problems, but never by pulling the pin on the one thing that is going on in NZ that is truely toxic and abusive: CANNABIS LAW ENFORCENT. wake up greens. you are neglecting the big smoking election issue and its gonna bite you on the bum, Frog, 3rd election in a row - mark my words... they talk about not cutting essential public services but there is one service in particular which is actually a nasty big ‘disservice’- costing hundreds of millions and creating only negatives (including the need for more and more prisons).

Pretty much only leaves nurses and porters on hourly wages rates. samiam, In the health sector “manager” means salaried staff members and consultants, ie doctors, surgeons, matrons, most radiographers, anaesthetists, lab technicians and some people who actually have manager in their job title.

But with strict environmental standards. Oh and tax cuts to bureaucrats too, the taxes that pay their salaries I mean. I was hearing the other day that the Hawke's Bay district health board has a manager for every bed. Something has got to change. That means tax cuts to exporters doesn’t it?
