Yer wot?
Prime Minister Helen Clark says New Zealand companies that produce some of their goods offshore should be catered for by a proposed Buy Kiwi Made campaign.
So….. it’s Kiwi made…. in….. China?
Oh…. yay?
In actuality it’s a Buy Kiwi “designed” campaign then? Are we going to get royalties ever time an Aussie eats pavlova or claims Tim & Neil are Aussies?
You’re an idiot lady.
Others tend to agree.
Meanwhile the Don has fainally discovered a pair to told her to cram it on another issue. Keep swinging Don, you’re bound to land one eventually. If you think it’s defamation lady get a lawyer. This may come as a shock to you but you saying something doesn’t make it so.

If I haven’t said it in a while …
I am SO glad I don’t live under this woman’s administration.
And that’s saying something for a guy in the shadow of Shrubya.

Interesting phenomena.
It’s like economic reality is unable to be ignored by tho minds that don’t live in it and this represents some reluctant inching toward the Left accepting it.
Trying to admit and deny at the same time. Eat cake and have it too. Cave in but spin to win..
Fascinating, captain.

I find their conclusions quite illogical captain.
Yes Sarah they’re from Te Awamutu. Split Enz is a kiwi band, crowded house a mixed Aussie/Kiwi band.
Also Martin Henderson, Anna Paquin (also Canadian depending on who is interviewing her), Alan Dale (numerous minor rolls in TV series in the US), Sam Neil, Keisha Castle Hughs (even though they tried to claim her), Kevin Wilson and Ian Mune who did Ike with Tom Selleck. Pretty much anyone that the Aussies feel the need to point out loudly is an Australian is probably a kiwi.
Russell Crowe is definately Australian though because he keeps picking fights in bars and getting his ass kicked. Podgey loser.

And Joh Bjelke Petersen. Oh, wait, do you want to claim him or not?

No thanks Milhouse, we suspect he’s a bit wiffy now.

He’s all yours under the “wanker” clause. See also: Russell Crowe.

Every year I shout myself a new set of fine merino underlayers. Great stuff, a kiwi invention. Even the missus who can’t wear wool doesn’t get irritated by this product. That is until they contracted it out to China. Fabric now itches. Suspicion is the crafty celestials are increasing the bottom line by blending in coarser cheaper wool. Lucky she has 5 years worth of the older NZ-made product on hand.
