Stupid Federated Farmers doing their moaning attitude when as you and I agree Fed. Farmers are definitely right in this instance. I have somewhere a brilliant article on the Urban rural disconnection. I'll have to find it again and post it up - worth a serious read.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-23167089848219776662008-11-05T18:29:00.000+13:002008-11-05T18:29:00.000+13:00That other press-release, the "cycle lane" one, wa...That other press-release, the "cycle lane" one, was probably just a one-off thing. We all have rushed days, and that bloke looks like he's very busy right now. No real worries.<BR/><BR/>But I really do hope Key listens to the Federation over the water issue. It's vital -- I'm a soft urban townie who does like the internet, yes. But without water -- we are all in deep trouble.Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-53635522442070752232008-11-05T18:13:00.000+13:002008-11-05T18:13:00.000+13:00Getting the economy moving will depend on global i...Getting the economy moving will depend on global influences stupid but true. John Key is naturally focused on more urban orientated issues without considering the need for improvement in the rural sector. Amy would agree with me there. It will be the usual story. Asset Sales for starters, the Tax cuts..then we'll start to see the huge budget deficit blowouts again. I think Ice in this instance Don Nicolson has a point at least he got his facts right instead of blowing off the top of his head like the last time over the cycle lane business. Looks like I might have another just come in off the media email.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-87045657172993151982008-11-05T17:43:00.000+13:002008-11-05T17:43:00.000+13:00So far, National's published policy statements abo...So far, National's published policy statements about infrastructure make no mention about water storage or supply, as the Federation say. They concentrate just on internet access, roads, and "getting the economy moving." More urban stuff, than rural.Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-62281929237563242042008-11-05T17:19:00.000+13:002008-11-05T17:19:00.000+13:00I don't think Mr Key would say this unless he mean...I don't think Mr Key would say this unless he meant it, but then again knowing politicians you just don't know. I hope he does follow through with it as it's an important issue.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076349937962262361noreply@blogger.com
