It was interesting to read about Northern Irelander politicians in harmony in the Assembly. I see they are thinking of freezing rates. They will have to freeze them for about 25 years to bring them down to New Zealander levels. Our rates for a 4 bedroom house with lots of space outside is less than $1,000… that is about 370 UK pounds at current rate. We have much less officialdom here. Our rates bill is itemised to price each service we are provided including bin emptying and a recycling service.
Talking of politicians in harmony, an NZ government minister punched an MP from the opposition outside the parliamentary chamber this week. He is probably going to lose his job in the Cabinet reshuffle next week.
They could learn something from the Assembly after all!!!!
