Why would you want to, there is enough brown fingers in all the troughs already.
There are no principles to the treaty, just clever greedy peoples interpretation, usually structured to help line there own pockets, TOW is the biggest single hurdle standing in the way of progress in this country.

All whities, none of them represent the unique culture of the Tangata Whenua,it’s doubtful if they even understand the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Folks – don’t forget the future of NZ is in growing the Arts & Culture of NZ. When Shearer takes over as the PM in 2014, entire cabinet and the Greens, NZ First MPs and Hone will be going on a tax payer funded junket to visit Vienna, the arts capital of the world. Why are you guys against Arts & Culture??

Seems that Trev still has enough power to only share his sports tickets with one other spokesmuppet

There’s some interesting reading there!

Comrade Clark’s nefarious influence is alive and well in today’s socialist Labour Party.
Just remember the spinster was the Minister for Arts & Culture.

Great and revealing photo of Shearer gazing dizzily at Jacinda in her little black dress. He’s a brave man if he let those choppers near anything he valued!

Can we now ask Annette King about what happened in her house that night with Darren Hughes and how her hubby Ray Lind is going to fit in this time round to her health portfolio?

Cannot even sort out a caucus where a shadow cabinet has all the required departments properly allocated, and they think they can run a country?

A certain phrase referreing to booze-ups in breweries comes to mind!

I’ve always thought that Helen Clark’s decision to take the Arts portfolio for herself had a lot to do with the almost complete lack of media scrutiny of her administration for it’s first 2 terms.

Yep, the Crown is only on the hook for the thick end of $15 billion for the Christchurch earthquakes – why would managing that merit a role in the shadow Cabinet?

The arts are where Labour wastes tonnes of tax payer funds whilst roading is where National wastes millions when few will be able to afford fuel soon.

Arts = free tickets to scalp
Foreign affairs = free junkets to far away places

Not all that surprising – after all Labour is much more interested in abstract concepts than reality
