SLB2.0 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 We had a lesbian Prime Minister for years. Although a Lib, she did her job well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Makes you wonder how mercenary or morally corrupt the breeding elite are.......will there be donations going the Labour party way? How do you spin a socialist leftie finance minister supporting the racing industry? Perhaps he will target pokies (reduce child poverty) and then use that to justify another benefit handout to the racing industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimbu Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Surely, it is the best portfolio for the Finance Minister to hold to be truly able to scrutinize whether or not racing is utilising the recent handout appropriately, and whether further financial support in the future is warranted and truly justifiable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there wont be another handout, if Jacinda is truly a socialist, the money will go to community projects and the racing industry will have to survive best it can.

Freda Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Will be interesting. For starters, I don't see the need for a Racing Minister at all...there isn't a M for rugby, netball, motor racing, etc. And, reportedly, a former Minister, Annette King, apparently said that there was nothing she could do, whatever she might have wished, as there was never a consensus, just a medley of factions all pushing their own barrows. What is likely to change? However able Grant may or may not be, he is loaded with enough work to have racing sitting right at the bottom of the pile - as it should be - and I don't see anyone who has industry clout, is respected by all, and is logical and far-seeing enough to engage with him and actually achieve anything.
