If that law was passed in New Zealand the only party standing for parliament in 2011 that currently has representatives in the house would be ACT.

RALSTON’S article could apply to all of the Government and Local Government Departments. The past decade has seen a massive build up in their structures most of it in-efficient and unnecessary.Procedures to justify the excess of management and control have become complex and wasteful to no good purpose.

i hafta say i don’t agree with campbells dismissal of the relationship between the maori party and the green party..
..that relationship is deep and strong..and many in both parties see them working together in the future as an inevitability..
..and one they welcome…
..campbell also makes too much of the period when turei was getting her puppies out in public..etc..
..that means diddly-squat to most..and would amuse/appeal to more .. than it would ‘horrify’..
..i do like his reference to the dirty-tricks of the male co-leadership race..
..(where head office favoured/campaigned for norman against tanczos….but pretended not to..)..
..(and why did nobody at that time do a cartoon of tanczos staggering away from that bout..
..with his ‘friends’/colleagues knives sticking out of his back..?..)
..campbell claims head-office favours turei this time out..and he may well be correct..
..but that is not a/enough reason turei should not get the role..
..it means/matters as little as her taking out those puppies ..
..for a walk/dance..
