Itstricky –

The point was: Cunliffe’s policy doesn’t benefit anyone until April 1, 2016.
That is the 50,000 Cunliffe was talking about, plus an extra 34,720 to be born one supposes before his policy starts on
April 1, 2016.

What was hard to understand about that?
He says National is doing nothing about them – neither does his policy. Get it?

Sweet, so we all know what the Government is doing about it, then. Squat all. And 34k children is a lot. What do you propose, seeing as it’s so many?

Better to have an idea and a policy, albeit a crap one, than to have no policy at all.

But who cares when you’re scoring points against the opposition, right?

Do your figures take into account the “inaccuracies” of the Dept. of Stats?

Poor diets of the dumb dumb masses:

So I’m at the shop – brown kid about ten ? And older brown woman – maybe grandma. She was slim. He looked like he was starting to show signs of porkiness.

The shit that they had in their trolley – half the items were indisputably junk food. More than half of maybe twenty or so. So many I didn’t want to look and try to remember them all. Cookies I remember. Not a normal pack of biscuits – some weird small pack of cookies.

These people are fucked. Try helping them – go on – just you try helping them. They are so fucking thick it’s not funny.

This was my shopping for the day by way of contrast: cabbage, peaches, pineapple, yoghurt, baby cucumbers, bananas, plums, apples.

You can’t get through to dickheads. They love their excessive sugar, fat and high carbohydrate intake the useless inactive morons.

… You can’t get through to dickheads. They love their excessive sugar, fat and high carbohydrate intake the useless inactive morons.

The sort of food you describe is usually what is on special and much cheaper than good healthy food that is seldom sold at reduced prices. A 2.5 litre bottle of coke is on special this week at $2.49, a 2 litre bottle of milk is $3.98. Fruit and veges are an atrocious price, I just paid $5.98 per kilo for kiwifruit, $3.98 for bananas. I see a packet of biscuits on special for $1.98 – chocolate chip or something like that.

Yes, they should buy the good stuff, but its not always that easy – we don’t eat white sugar, we use coconut sugar if it is needed. I don’t use ordinary flour, if needed I use coconut flour, and coconut oil for cooking, I spend a fortune on food due to our decision to eat the best – the vast majority of families simply could not afford it.

Quote: So it seems the graphic sculpture in West Auckland, at 83,000 spoons, will be 1,720 short.

I think Cunnliffe and Labour should personally, at their own expense, donate the extra needed.

Maybe we should ask McCarten to organise a fund raiser using mystery envelopes. He has some experience with those.
