We need new people, skills, and ideas
Well, the turmoil has started from the Government-in-waiting.
Haha, Mr Little says we don’t need the TPP, that his own party under Helen Clark said was a good idea.
What’s wrong with having more people in the store called New Zealand? Aren’t customers good for business?
We are a trading nation. Hell, the more people we can deal with the better, I would have thought.
I run a small business; the bigger the client list, the better.
On the next page the Greens want to give away another $85 million to people who bang out kids willy-nilly.
Well, if you have kids, shouldn’t you be prepared for the cost?
In the old days, when someone was expecting the family rallied around with knitting and hand-medowns.
The people that need these kid handouts aren’t the ones we need to breed.
We need good, hard-working young people to breed and teach their offspring to work for their keep, not sit on their bums and cry hard-up.
As for Winston, well, he just ask if he has slipped a cog in his upstairs loft? We can all do that occasionally!
I wasn’t urging lead be removed from petrol but explaining it was a major known health danger, brazenly suppressed for decades! My point is the length of time health authorities are taking, not to know but to acknowledge, the danger with lead-containing fluorosilicates.
It is common knowledge that the safety levels of lead and arsenic are ’zero’ How many more decades will pass before it is admitted fluoridating water is a dangerous and unnecessary burden on our health and the tottering economics of our health system?
‘Experts’ once declared thalidomide, cigarettes, mercury fillings, and other substances absolutely safe, but in every case wants us to do nothing and hope the world will go past and not know we are here.
Well, in business to not go forward is to go backwards. What does he want us to go back to, the old fortress New Zealand? they were later forced to back down.
If Dr Perrott prefers neurotoxic water that causes brain damage, he is welcome to swallow it but according to reliable referenda and surveyed assessments in the past, the public is overwhelmingly against fluoridating the drinking water. In 1995 not even one district of the 12 in this area voted in favour of fluoride!
To argue that the population has recently changed its minds will need more than gigantic gymnastics! Our mayor, Damon Odey (May 8) can certainly be commended for making it clear that before a ridiculous decision is made to flood the country with fluoride, there needs to be public consultation.

Well, that is no good in the modern times.
We need new people coming here with new skills and ideas. We need to move forward. Ross F Brown Waimate
