Would manufacturing cluster bombs count as “vice” or is it only the traditional forms of tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, sex, gambling etc?

I like the idea of requiring students to work 10 hoursa a week in state owned vice enterprises. Could be appropriate investment vehicles for the Cullen fund.

Thats true Buggerlugs.
The Greens being the looney party leaves the door open for ACT to remain the silly party
of course United Future is the “sensible” party

they could even get Mike Williams as their chief fund raiser, given his wide range of contacts with loose cash swilling around and the fact that he’s very soon going to be kicked out to save Labour further embarrassment…

A party I could vote for.

Actually … no.

The name is 11 characters too long – the maximum length allowed is 52 characters (incl. spaces). Looks like Andrew will need to write on the other side of the blank piece of paper
