Treasury:
Government Surplus Hits $2875 Per Person
The National Party's delivered an angry
response to the Government's $11.5 billion surplus.
It says the greedy Labour-led Government should apologise
for gouging New Zealand taxpayers following the announcement
of an enormous $11.5 billion surplus. National Party finance
spokesman John Key says: "New Zealand is now running the
second biggest surplus in the developed world." See... Huge

Maori:
Harawira's Column Tackles Dr Brash's Smoking
Comments
Don Brash said recently that Maori who smoke, deserve to get lung cancer. Which is a bit like saying Pakeha's who get bashed up deserve to go to hospital. Neither comment makes sense; but I made the second one, knowing it to be foolish. See... Ae Marika! A column by Hone Harawira 10 Oct 2006 [1]

Welfare:

Sickness Benefit, Unemployment Benefit and Domestic Purposes
Benefit", Mrs Roy said. See... The
