Politicians - Watch the Deeds, not the Words - Part 2
John Key yesterday went to McGehan Close to meet the residents and talk to them about finding solutions - not the most welcoming reaction was recieved, but after talking over with the residents, he left having apoligised for any offence, explained his position better, and with more understanding of the problems they face and what to do about them, and everyone was more statisfied. The most vocal critic when he arrived even promised to vote for him!
Two days earlier, Helen Clark snubbed an invitation from John Key to join him, saying she regularly visits such streets and schools that John Key highlighted in her speech.
If so, then what John Key heard was old hat, and she would have implement programmes to fix the problems of Youth Gangs, Government Department hinderance in helping find employment, empty state houses being trashed, regular flooding of the houses by the nearby creek, and youth with so little hope they commit suicide.
But she hasn't done it after seven years! Perhaps the residents living in the what they proclaim "misery" should be confronting Helen Clark - after all, she claims she knows about all these problems and does nothing.

What a good post heading.
I wonder if it might apply to any other posts you've done recently?
Like congratulating Labour for repaying the election pledge card overspending?
I think we may have quibbled slightly on this very topic. And in the paper today:
Labour might retract its commitment to repay more than $800,000 of unlawful election spending if New Zealand First overturns the Auditor-General's report in a legal challenge.
It's not paid, until it's paid.
And do you think they'd refund the money to their donors??

No - but they've retracted their retraction.
Like I said, watch the deeds - remember Labour is a volunteer organisation, not just Helen and Mike and Michael.
Raising $800,000 is quite an undertaking for any voluntary group, so I congratulated them for doing that and keeping on track to repay the money.
Don't worry - if Labour renege, or refuse to prove they've repaid the dosh, they'll get an ear bashing from me, you and every voter in NZ.
