It's not the most flattering of portraits. My main beef is that why did someone take the painting/mural to the dump? It's not a great look for Labour in election year. Maybe one of the Labour electorates or wanna-be candidates will pay for the artwork and we'll see it in public. I see TV1 must have read your post, W69, it was on the news.
Craic, I'll wait to see if National can have several billion dollars of surpluses like Labour had, and start paying off the huge debt they've got the taxpayer into. I think that if you look harder at govt cashflow, you'll see they are still borrowing money to pay the higher interest on the crown debt. So it's not a real surplus, it's a paper or accountancy surplus. You'll have to try harder if you're going to be the last remaining cheerleader for National.
Hello, hello, no new postings since 7th April? Politics losing it's appeal in an election year?
The problem for EZ in his posting above is that the "several billion dollars of surpluses like Labour had" were Rogernomics policies surpluses which Labour ran down until the last Budget they presented had a deficit.
I'm happy to accept what Treasury says knowing that the Auditor General hasn't objected....:-)
I seem to remember Cullen saying that the surplus was not a real surplus when tax cuts were suggested.
National amnesia? Stop any five Labour supporter on the street and ask them to name their last four leaders in order. Two will include Muldoon and one will include Savage and the others will ask what a leader is..
I concur with your observation about 3 year terms. Personally I favor a 4 year term with fixed election dates. I would also like to see a return to a bicarmel legislature which we had until 1950 when the Legislative Council was abolished. The Irish Sinead is a good model. Not that any of this is likely to occur
