The reason NZ is fucked is not because of too many regulations, but because we need tax reform. We have no money to do anything, as this govt has discovered even after firing thousands of people and cutting services everywhere. I'll be saying "Yes" this year Josie - to a change in govt.

On a similar theme to my last post. Shihad. Pretty big deal band back in NZ. Were great in the mid to late 90s and still producing consistently fantastic material.
