I see the All Whites are following the trend set by the All blacks on Saturday night. Looks like John Key will want to set an earlier election then in 2011, before the Rugby World Cup.

Is it better to get Swine flu sooner than later? From what I read, the main danger is that the swine flu virus will mutate into a more deadly form.

Current swine flu sufferers are only showing mild symptoms. I assume the infected people develop some resistance.

So, would it not be better to get swine flu now, while it is not too bad. This may provide some immunity to a future more deadly strain of the flu.

Maybe if any immunoligist could comment please.

yeah inventory..

are you quite blase about the fact we are fast headed for economic and environmental cliffs…?

..and at a time when urgent action/reform is the massive (ignored) elephant in the room..

..our ‘leaders’ are doing s.f.a…

..not seeing more than a half an inch past the end of their noses..

..and operating purely on self/class-interest..

..and the protection of patches..

the neville chamberlains of our time..eh..?

..and this is how history will remember them..

..them that knew..had the power to act..and did nothing..

..are set to becoming some of the most reviled people in history..

..but hey..!

wreck,

Another reason to get it now rather than later is that because of the relatively few cases, you’d actually get treatment at this stage. (I could be wrong – I’m not a medical professional.)

The student at the centre of the Westlake Girls High School swine flu outbreak had been in contact with nearly 200 people, the school said today.

I was actually hoping you’d respond along these lines. It’s simply reflecting back your approach on this thread – an approach I’ve often seen you use.

As for the “non-binding referendum on the ‘anti-smacking’ bill”… where to start?

First, I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that National made an election promise out of a non-binding referendum on this issue. Second, it’s not a bill, it’s an Act of Parliament. Third, you say “..which police/key confirm is ‘working’..” but one can quibble over what “working” means in this context. Sue Bradford talked up the likely outcomes of the legislation, and yet I still see regular reports of child abuse and infanticide. If by “working” you simply mean the Police haven’t been inundated with complaints, as some predicted, well that’s a separate issue altogether.

Huff duf – sonic and philu are not the same person. sonic is a tiny scotsman with a huge chip on his shoulder while philu is a 58 years old ex-con, druggie serial-bludger. They do share a love of disrupting KB threads with their moaning piffle. We’re well used to it.. well I am after several years of conditioning!

Philu:

Actually, if you’re as principled as you claim, you’ll lay the blame for the $9 million non-binding referendum on the ‘anti-smacking’ legislation with… Helen Clark!

As DPF blogged at the time:

$10 million to be wasted by Helen.

It is outrageous that Helen Clark is going to waste $10 million of taxpayer money by scheduling the referendum on the anti-smacking law after the election.

Asked why it could not be held at the same time as the election, which must be held by November 15, she replied: “Just in terms of sheer organisation, I do not think that is possible”.

That is simply nonsense. The election date is around five months away, and the Chief Electoral Office is a very capable operator who can handle the addition of a referendum question. They read the newspapers and would have contingency plans for if the petition succeeds and is held with the election.

Everyone knows that Helen is lying when she says it is not logistically possible. The truth is that politically Helen does not want it at the same time as the election, so she is prepared to waste $10 million in order to advantage herself.

So, Philu, what did you have to say at the time? That’s right, if you read through that thread, you had absolutely nothing to say about the referendum cost. You had lots of childish insults to share with Kiwiblog readers though. Does that make you “quite infantile..simple even..eh..?”

I look forward to your response (using those high standards of debate that you mentioned at 6:40 pm).

Philu:

After reading your 8:12pm comment, there’s no polite way of saying this: you’re a fucking idiot!

Let me make it simple for you.

We could have had an election and referendum last year. This would have been a non-binding referendum at no significant additional cost to the taxpayer. Unfortunately, thanks to Helen Clark’s political manipulations, we didn’t have that referendum. John Key actually promised to go ahead with it, given the public agitation for one at the time. Just because you happen to support the legislation, and therefore disagree with the premise of the referendum, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t go ahead.

Supporting evidence – a speech from John Key before the election:

National: Valuing Families
by Hon John Key, Leader

08 September 2008

Speech to the Family First New Zealand Forum on the Family

It’s appropriate before I finish today that I touch on a particular issue that I know many parents and many in this room are concerned about. That is Parliament’s move last year to amend Section 59 of the Crimes Act.

That amendment started as a bill promoted by Sue Bradford. I opposed that bill. I opposed it because I thought it would expose good parents to criminal investigation and prosecution.

Despite my opposition, and the opposition of many National Party MPs, there were enough votes to pass that bill. Labour was determined to force it through. I was convinced our parliamentarians could do better. I did not want to see a society where we criminalised good parents for doing their jobs. Nor did I want to see a society where the law could be used to shield people who abused their children.

So I called for a compromise, I sat around the negotiating table and I argued the case for Kiwi mums and dads.

The result was a revised amendment that I believe went a lot further to protect good parents from being criminalised than would have been the case under Sue Bradford’s original bill.

Since that time, a large number of Kiwis have signed a petition calling for a referendum on the changes to Section 59. I support Kiwis’ right to have their say in this way. National’s view is that the referendum should have been held in conjunction with the upcoming election – but Labour has chosen instead to delay it until next year.

But, irrespective of the timing, National will watch the result of the referendum closely.

Last year, when I supported the revised amendment I was clear about my intentions. I continue to be so. If I can see compelling evidence that this legislation is not working, and I am Prime Minister of New Zealand, then I will work to change it. To this point, I haven’t seen such evidence.

Let me repeat that for you:

Since that time, a large number of Kiwis have signed a petition calling for a referendum on the changes to Section 59. I support Kiwis’ right to have their say in this way. National’s view is that the referendum should have been held in conjunction with the upcoming election – but Labour has chosen instead to delay it until next year.

So take off your partisan blinkers and reflect on Helen Clark’s actions – and then try and actually debate the issue for a change.

I’m never going to give Barnados any money. That Liberal prick representing them has put me right off.

On the news states that the wording of the question is wrong and suggestion and then goes onto state that smacking can never be considered as part of good parenting.

So its suggestive to have a democratic vote yet not suggestive for the head of a childrens group to state that anyone with a differing view is a criminal?
philu (10,919) Says:

let me repeat this for you..

“..To this point, I haven’t seen such evidence. .”

that was key..

..he is now the prime minister..
