The way to remove the registry is to show it is ineffective and costs a sh.t load of money, which we haven't got.
I did write a whole lot more but it would probably be seen as "political" by the mods on here so deleted it......if you want to know what it was pm me.
I have also received the email from Nicole and am about to jump to their policy document for a bit of a gecko.Quote:

Mind, ACT have been pretty strong on that 'promise', so they may make it a priority - they know who's voting for them.
And - to XR500, they couldn't even hold chopper fuel reserves in Northland for when it was urgently required - people died because of that.
And having just read the plan for fair firearms law, my view is that it is well balanced and I have replied to the Act email telling them so. It certainly has my support.
Your scepticism re broken promises is well founded. Who among us doesn’t remember Ron Mark’s support of our fraternity being shit on from a great height by his beloved leader Winnie? That said if David, Nicole et al can garner enough support come October then they could find themselves having considerable leverage to which any coalition partner just might have to acquiesce on occasion in order to advance their own agenda. (Fuck Rushy how did you blurt that our without mentioning any political party?).Quote:

The fuel issue in the boat incident isn't totally correct. There was plenty of fuel available but politics involved with who to get it from.
I'll try to be more 'scathing' in the future :)
Has someone else pissed pootin off :)Quote:

In essence is states that I agree with their direction, but its all bulldust if they cant get it implemented.
I also said something along the lines that the relationship between the Police and the LFAO community is badly strained, to the point of mistrust and animosity.
It can be repaired with time, but it will take correct policy and if that policy is sensibly and fairly implemented. At the moment it isnt, hence the animosity and mistrust.
I'd be curious to know more about that one .................Quote:
