Well said. Any large project that could potentially be affected by how this coin toss turns out is quite possibly currently on hold.

This point is being overcooked
Any significant law change is at least 18 months away. No sensible business will hold on that long.
The converse side of the argument is conditions may be more favorable now so best to just get on with it. Delaying may have a lost opportunity cost.
Ok that market is all over the shop. I just got matched on Labour at 2.22 for not a little amount. So from Labour a $10 shot 3 hours ago to now matched at $2.22, I do not think anyone knows anything.
Can't beat springer spaniels, if you have enough energy to keep up with them.
No decision from NZ First tonight. http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/politi...again-tomorrow
NZ First leader Winston Peters said Key was trying to keep the public in ignorance over the TPP.
"But New Zealanders deserve to know what rights are being negotiated away by this government," he said.
"The prime minister is misleading when he says the public will have the chance to have their say on the content of the TPP during the select committee process.
"They will have their say over the associated legislation that New Zealand will have to implement to agree to the terms of the TPP.
"But they will not get a say on the text of the treaty as that will have already been ratified by Cabinet."

The irony is that when the tables are turned...
Don't New Zealanders deserve to know what is being negotiated away by the main parties
Isn't this misleading that the public will be able to have their say about the policies in the next term of government
That they won't get their say over the legislation and policies as they will already been ratified by the coalition?
Precisely, it's a farce, the anathema of democracy, but the public seem to have no idea they're being shafted either which way they vote. MMP is really screwed up, it's a system that creates winners from losers and deny's the democratic process and popular opinion which in itself beggars belief.
