“‘….. here comes Dai – can’t even fuck a sheep’”

I don’t think that’s very funny!

No one at the Slashers Arms said that to me after my last conviction.

Not funny nasska!

Come up with a better joke!~!!!!

Agree with most of what you said there but it is important due to the fact, that squeaky wheels get listerned to .

Any behaviour that can deny information getting out is bad, its simple. What I’m afraid of is the fact that Clark would have banned the book and there are unfortunately enough sops in the present Govt to try to appease the noisy bastards.

If you think there is some politician that hasn’t mooted this you are crazy

A tourist arrived in Australia, hired a car and set off for the outback. On his way he saw a bloke having sex with a sheep. Deeply horrified, he pulled up at the nearest pub and ordered a straight Scotch. Just as he was about to throw it back, he saw a bloke with one leg masturbating furiously at the bar. “For God’s sake!” the bloke cried, “what the hell’s going on here? I’ve been here one hour and I’ve seen a bloke shagging a sheep, and now some bloke’s wanking himself off in the bar!” “Fair dinkum, mate,” the bartender told him, “you can’t expect a man with only one leg to catch a sheep”.

Good on the cops. Better than the crap revenue gathering with speeding tickets.

“If you think there is some politician that hasn’t mooted this you are crazy”

Clark did more than moot restrictions on freedom of speech etc. She introduced a statutory restriction on free speech. She actually then mooted a blanket ban on what, in effect amounted to whatever she perceived as “unfair” political criticism. Fortunately, she got the big fuck off b4 she could enact it.

But my point is that THAT is what we should hop up and down about ( and did); not this silly book and market forces operating for and against it. The outcomes on the book are purely elective on the part of those for and against. That disgraceful bitch had other things in mind but her machinations are quite different from those of the protagonists in this pointless debate. There is all the world of difference between consumers uniting and a guvmint acting. The risk, and maybe this is what you are on about, is that an arsehole like Clark would, where it suited her purposes, take advantage of a consumer reaction to drive home some political advantage. That is always a risk but it isn’t a justifaction for hopping up and down about something like this because requiring booksellers to sell the weasel’s crap isn’t actually any different from stopping them from selling it. Your point, I think, drives to standards of political behaviour.

One morning Father O’Connor woke up to find his rooster had vanished,
So at church he asked the village,”Has any of you got a cock?” All the men stood up,
“No, No, No, has anyone seen a cock?” All the women stood up,
Father O’Connor shouted,”No! has anyone seen my cock?” Two nuns, Five altar boys and a goat stood up.

A black man walks into a bar and asks the bartender where do all the niggers hang. The bartender takes him out back and shows him a tree.

Whats the difference between a maori and a park table? A park table supports a family of four

Why don’t catholics use condoms? Because little boys can’t get pregnant

More bureaucratic intervention, more studies, more commissions: exactly what NZ doesn’t need:

I’ve always wondered when and how pay details became a privacy issue. Seems to me that knowing what someone earns hurts nobody.

A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide.

The librarian says; ‘Fuck off, you won’t bring it back.’

What business of yours is to know other people’s salaries? As much as you like it, the state has no right to intrude into private matters between employers and employees.

Leave your dreams and fantasies for socialists, big-government supporters, and nanny state worshipers. Are you one of those?

About 30 years ago all public servants’ salaries were published in one fat book. I don’t see any reason why that couldn’t be done again. On a similar front, some countries make citizens’ tax returns publicly available.

30 years ago pay scales were published and the increments attached to that level, not what the indiviual earned with his name beside it

Its none of your fucking business what people earn, individual contracts are that, for the individual ,not for those who seem to be able to spend all day here , try working, then ask your work mates what they earn, you will be told “begone stupid person”

Oh no – here we go again.

When will the idiot lefties accept the principle that a person might just earn more that someone else because they are worth it? But oh no – they trot out the usual crap based on the principle of dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

This sounds an awful lot like the crap spouted by the militant unions at the heart of the teacher dispute.

Mikenmild,
The name, address and occupation of that cock sucker who gobbles you off is none of my business. That is your own private affair. We have a Privacy Act to protect people like yourself, and a bloody good job too.
What I pay my employees is, similarly, none of your business.

All I pointed out was that in fairly recent times this information was published, for the public service at least. No one made a fuss about it. I happen to think it would be useful for taxpayers to see what their servants are paid. Could be a useful addition to our accountability mechanisms.

What private citizens choose to pay each is their own business; what the state pays to those on its payroll is a matter of urgent public interest. It’s largely how Greece came to bankrupt itself, and it’s how the striking teachers in the UK came to have pension funds worth 500,000 pounds.

Agreed, wat – what a private firm pays is only the owners’ business. The taxpayers own the public service and should be able to know what public servants earn. It could have an additional benefit of mitigating some of the competition between departments for staff that drives up salaries.

Did you hear the one about the Irish circumciser?

He slipped, and got the sack.

I heard the pay wasn’t flash either.

But you could keep the tips.
