Clint:

Actually, just for kicks, let’s give Tane the benefit of the doubt.

The argument for the CUB: recognise our relationship, but don’t amend the Income Tax Act 2004 to recognise that same relationship (thus, on the face of it, creating an uneven playing field).

And the possible anology with the EFB: regulate electoral campaign spending, but create a special exception for the unions (thus, on the face of it, creating an uneven playing field).

Does Tane know something that we don’t?

Apologies for the profanity. That kind of language belongs on my blog

It’s funny Tane, you bring up this Civil Union bill every time the EFB is debated. The only difference is, nobody wants Labour to fuck with their democratic right to support any political party.

As we know now, the Civil Union bill allows everybody to fuck each other

Phillip John:

You need to read the first sentence and the second sentence together. “Demand for your services in Wellington” is not about me. It’s all about context. A bit like statistical analysis?

“I don’t suppose you dabble in framing airbrushed portraits? If so, you may find a demand for your services in Wellington.”

What I find amusing is the line: let the Select Committee fix the Bill, and let it sail forward. What this fails to recognise, of course, is that the public don’t get a second bite at the cherry. It’s basically a “trust Labour” message.

Best to withdraw the Bill, address the public concerns, and then put it back before the Select Committee. Now I don’t know if this has ever happened – as usually controversial legislation gets rammed through under urgency.

Actually bwakile, Lee didn’t actually start making picture frames until the EFB came on the radar. Then some official popped his head round the door and said “because you’re the hard lefty on staff you’re our rep on the Helen In Homes working party” and now Lee works all day framing pics of H1 so that when the EFB is rammed through and she gets her chance to promulgate the dictatorship, we right-wingers will all spend time finding a spot amongst the McCahons for a mandatory Kim Jong Clark pic. Or else.

I don’t suppose you dabble in framing autographed pictures? And airbrushed portraits? If so, you may find a demand for your services in Wellington.

Steve:

I don’t think it actually matters whether someone uses a pseudonym. The regulars (Phillip John particularly comes to mind) get a right royal roasting when they slip up. Kiwiblog is (or should be) about debating ideas.

Davud Farrah mite be posting his own views?
Any reason why he should not do this? it is his kiwiblog.
Seems a place for moaners and whingers to vent their spleen without saying who they are. Some of the personal insults are repugnant.
Oh then the trolls hijack and turn the subject (thread) into their own point of view.
Example: Electoral Finance Bill gets changed to the Civil Unoins Bill.
And away we go on a tangent.
I am an engineer and put in my 9 hours today designing, fabricating, welding, grinding hard out, and yeah nut on bolts stuff.
What did you do all day? in front of the computer passing the day on Kiwiblog?
Pity I don’t have the time to get near a computer in working hours.
I actually work for my money.
I also don’t hide behind a ficticious name.

Regards, Steve Thomas

“Sam, as a collectivist, just can’t fathom the prospect that DPF – heaven forbid – might be posting his own ideas.”
