Govt wakeup call
Robert Guyton's letter (June 11) about the dictatorial behaviour of the present Government appointing the next regional council for Christchurch without the people of the region being able to vote for the council they want to govern them should be a wakeup call for New Zealanders.
Although Mr Guyton is excited that Southlanders still have the right to vote and choose the people they want to run their local and regional councils in the forthcoming local body elections, the reality is they may not.
And even if they do elect some wonderful people, the council can be dismissed by the Government of the day, be it Labour or National (they are both the same; the anti-smacking law proved that) if it isn't on-song for global governance via the United Nations by 2012.
All of this has come about because of the quackery of global warming/climate change, which was hatched by the Club of Rome back in 1968 as a reason for the need of a global government.
As of December 2009, four of the 21 district health boards are on the Government's intensive monitoring list, four are on performance watch list, two had Crown monitors in place (one is Southland DHB) and one has a commissioner in place and will remain until the the next local body elections.
There are several reasons for National's move, but the prime one is the 360 per cent budget deficit blowout by all the DHBs ($43 million 2007-08 to $155 million 2008-09) due to their extravagant procurements while under Helen Clark's Labour Government watch.
National, unwisely, is now using this as an argument to justify elderly home-help cuts.
The next general election, if New Zealanders are allowed to have them, may very well be our last.
We need a real, majority rule democracy party that will do the will of the people, because all I see at the moment is: Red, I see Red, I see Red.
