Recently a mate said that I seemed angry while I was preaching. A lot does make me angry but I also know how shallow I am. Angry and Shallow sums me up in a lot of ways. So as an angry and shallow man I will be making weekly (or maybe more often) comments on things I think we need to face and that I want to say. I also want to hear what you think about them.

When I'm Prime minister there are going to be big changes to the bureaucracy that is taking over New Zealand.

There are big housing issues in NZ and the need for new houses is vital to keeping prices down and therefore affordable to most people. In this mornings paper there is an article on this and the mayor of Wellington, Kerry Prendergast, is quoted as saying "We've seen a shift of 12 days of processing time to between 15 and 17.........A typical house plan four years ago was three A3 size plans and 30 supporting pages. developers are now required to file 12 A3 size pages and up to 300 pages of supporting documentation"

Bloody ridiculous!

You can never allow the office wallers and bureaucrats to run anything....they will complicate everything, slow everything down and play everything too safe....sounds a lot like the church!

    Interestingly enough, Im about to make an offer on a cute little 2 bedroom place in Stokes Valley. Perfect for me and daughter. Going for $239,000 and above (flippen cheap actually in comparison to the theft that is going in through house sales lately), I figure I'll put my life savings of $230 down as my deposit and see what the bank has to say about that.

    I've heard story after story of "i saw the house, had no money, but felt like I should put an offer on it...and I got the house!!"

    So who knows, might work for me.

    But then again...it might not. Nothing to lose but my good name :)

    When you're PM, can you please do one of the following:

    1. Lower taxes...OR...

    2. Bring back traffic cops. I can't help but get pissed off every time a cop pulls me over... especially when I'm in Manurewa. 'Officer, I KNOW there's somewhere else you should really be right now....'

    Mate...agree entirely re Traffic cops. Having the Police do it reduces their mana! Consider it done when I'm PM
