Quote from: Fran O\'Sullivan
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

-_- going to be in contact with wilsons tomorrow

Talking to someone that got their car out of the car park, seems like the side opposite the side I parked on is quite badly damaged. So even if my cars perfectly fine I might not be able to get it out -_-

Yes please. Especially if they're going to be rooting around buildings where people have died.

A friend has setup an open for business group for listing open businesses in town, I think this is an awesome idea for getting information out there this week.

First things first - Looters

If they were stealing anything that could be taken as essential survival items I am inclined to say send them on their way.

If they were material objects tie the cunts to trees in a large park with signs around their necks stating what they did, they can bang on about people making stupid decisions all they want but anyone who is happy to loot while hundreds of others risk their lives trying to save injured people can be tied up and made an example of - simple as that

As for that site - definitely a troll but if by any chance its our own little version of Westboro Church they better understand right quick New Zealand ain't America otherwise they will be fucked lol

looters should be used as taser targets for cadets then handed over to the army for live fire exercises.
