		<description>Perhaps the Greens should issue an ultimatum to National (privately at first, publicly on ending the agreement), that the home insulation programme be sped up to ensure business capability recently built up be sustained. After all unemployment is still rising and this is good way to realise energy efficiency - the sooner the better.</description>

		<description>&quot;But we’re continuing the romance for the sake of the … cycleway???&quot;

But of course, Greenfly. Without the cycleway, tourists won&#039;t fly all the way to New Zealand, and if they don&#039;t fly, how can we make ourselves feel good by selling them some daft &quot;carbon-offsetting&quot; tree-planting certificates and hand-stirred eco-lattes?</description>

		<description>Phil if Hone is all Maori have got then there is no hope for race reconciliation in this country. Using the race card to cover for his own personal lack of integrity is only belittling the people he claims to represent.
Is Maori mana simply doing what you feel like when and where ever you want and saying f@#k you do anyone who has an issue with it?
The Guy needs to grow up.
If someone truly has respect for their people they would never use them to cover their blunders.</description>

		<description>Fnck spoke by spoke. I want a piece of the bastard driving the train.  Those sons won&#039;t answer to anyone because &lt;b&gt;they don&#039;t think they have to&lt;/b&gt;... and THAT is the message we have to take to the electorate.

Last I checked that is a message that resonates well everywhere... and it has the power to cut them off at the knees.  

The unaccountable government.  

Led by a banker. 

We just have to start drumming it in.
