big brother ethos

it's happening, and it seems that our (the people) permission is not required (until voting day). first we have had mp's trying to tell us how we raise our children. the fact that 80% of kiwis do not agree means nothing. now we have govt departments putting spyware on our doctors computer systems to gain information without our permission. never mind doctor/patient confidentiality. i can (just) live with the cameras around trouble spots to help with crime, but it is now going way overboard. i guess we'll have to wait until the elections to make our opinions known. they (the govt) won't pay any attention until then.

anti-smacking bill smacked!

the govt have put the brakes on the anti-smacking bill. could it be that they will listen to the people on this? nah, they've been told before. they will pull their heads in for a wee while and then come at it again. for some reason they [sue bradford] wants to do it because it's good for us [*%#@!]. the latest poll says 15% want the bill and the rest of us are not interested. is 85% not enough of a majority? the obvious way out of this situation is called referendum. make sure the correct questions are asked. i know the people will come back with answers you [the govt] might not want to hear, but this is, a democracy, isn't it?

kia kaha bob mccoskrie [family first] you get that referendum happening.
