No fair!

Nothing to fear in careful sale of some assets

This is the bright and sparkling message from National and its breathless supporters - those things you knew to be avoided, rejected, watched-for and wary of, are, according to them, passe, out-dated and no longer valid.
National's 'disseminators of spin', such as the blog Homepaddock that provided this post's title, are busy delivering the next wave of softening-up that they hope will facilitate the plans of the party they cheer for, but I'm not so easily softly soaped.
I will be watching for more and more of this 'wash' as English and co try to cover the appalling debt situation they've created for themselves and I hope that any alert readers that stumble upon or regularly read this blog will do the same.
Sell some assets?
No fear!

If a school has been closed and won't re-open why not sell the land and buildings and invest the proceeds into more productive areas of education?

New Zealand hasn't closed down Ele, and we shouldn't be selling our assets, unless 'closed down' is what we want to be.

Hell, why don't we just go one step further and sell the whole damned country, I am sure it will lower living costs for all...... just like our power bills!

Hey Robert, I see what you mean regarding the "network" we discussed.

Hey Shunda, how's the journey?
Say hello to your crew for me.
Some industrious and thoughtful person weeded out the vegetable garden over the road, much to my delight when I went over there armed with a fork to do the job!
I was able to settle down with a beer instead and think thankful thoughts.

Hey Robert, the journey has just been completed! now sitting at home with a cider, have been out of internet range for a few days.

We reckon it was our best family trip ever, nobody wanted to come home.
We are so glad we made the journey to Riverton, we learnt so much and have much to process, and the kids loved it.

A phantom weeder aye! a good thing to have around!, I think a smaller phantom may have helped a wee bit too (though quickly got distracted by a rope hanging from a nearby tree branch)
Will email soon.

Hey Shunda!
Great to hear you're all safely back home. It was great having the Barundas here in our wee village and cool to meet you in the flesh.
I look foward to hearing more from you as the world turns.
It's mighty dry down here now, though the weathermen say rain tomorrow.
We seashell!
