Writing in Stuff today, Andra Vance reports that "hundreds" of submissions have been received for the Select Committee considering the Mixed Ownership Model Bill which she gratuitously describes as "reviled".
So we can't help but wonder; given that over 2 million New Zealanders voted in November's election, ought the government be worried about "hundreds" of objections, when hundreds of thousands HAVEN'T registered their displeasure with the Select Committee?

With a strong tinge of Green I should imagine Anon; but it doesn't say much for the size and impact of the respective party machines does it...
Idiot argument.
Do you use the same one to support Key's embrace of the smacking legislation?
No I didn't. I was actually critical of Key's stance after the smacking referendum; but don't let that deter you from the abuse and smears that are your stock-in-trade.
Abuse and smears? It was the argument anon called an idiot, not you. You are not an idiot Inv2. Far from it. Christian and conservative maybe, but not an idiot. Your arguments however are a degree of idiotic all of their own.

Not sure what you mean about the anti-smacking petition, but he's our thoughts on the S59 referendum from 2009:

National campaigned openly on a programme of infrastructute expenditure funded mainly by asset sales. Noone in their submissions in the article mentions cancelling the infrastructure program, therefore they are submitting that they are for nice things and against bad things.
