Time for a re-make

Last I heard Clark had beggared the party so much they still had $600k debt. The selfish bitch tried to save her own skin by breaking the bank.

At least we can thank Kevin Brady for making them pay off the eight hundy they stole to win the 2005 election. that and the contributors to this video at the time.

It is time for a remake. those interested in a remake/new song and contributing please contact me via e-mail.

Meanwhile Labour hasn’t learned and done it again. This time, not a pledge card but a brochure that is largely fact free. We should demand out money back. One commenter on this blog stated when I ran the story a week before NZPA (they should pay, shouldn’t they?)

The correct figures are that the current tax is $10.03, and that the new tax amount will be $12.03 giving a total of $92.25, so an increase of $2.00. Where their figure of $13.54 comes from I can only guess, but it looks fairly simple.

They calculated the current GST as 12.5% of $90.25, which equals $11.28 (where your figure comes from I am assuming), then they are adding 2.5% to the $90.25, which equals $2.25. $11.28 + $2.25 = $13.53.

When working out the amount of GST in a price you cannot just subtract 12.5%, as the 12.5% is calculated on the amount excluding tax. The full calculation would be (90.25/112.5)*100 = 80.22. So the current GST is $10.03. A simpler method is to divide the price by 9. 90.25/9 = 10.03.

So not only do we have suspect people on brochures, we have the Labour party not able to perform correct calculations. Of course that is never a surprise.

Last night on Larry Williams NewstalkZB show The Nightwatchman said that it fitted the rules. That surely means the rules are as crooked as the politicians who made and monitor the rules.

Parliamentary Services needs to be opened up to the OIA process, and it needs to be have the rules established by people who do not directly benefit from the rules and their construct. We don’t allow conflicts of interest in other professions, so why do why do we insist upon it in politics.

Pay it back Labour, pay it back. Go tap Owen Glenn if you have to, like you did last time. Or sell some of that multi-million dollar property portfolio you have. Pay it back.
