The No's have it and money

The Referendum: Well an easy victory for those who want the right to hit their kids - nearly 90% in favour. But as they say, most Americans supported slavery and homosexual law reform went against the majority. As I have said before I believe Parliament must lead.

Money: Bryers of the Blue Chip investment farce has pleaded guilty to some charges. A Select Committee is to look into the failure of the Finance Companies and has already said that they will look at giving the investor more information.

That is not the problem; the problem is that the Finance Companies don't do what they say they are going to do with the money and most importantly the Trust Companies look upon themselves as referees instead of advocates and protectors of the Investors $$$.

And another aspect to money. All Black Tialata wants game time and to play for Wellington. The Coach, Jamie Joseph won't play him as he feels the All Blacks in and out of the team, due to Test duties, is a hindrance. So Tialata wants to play for Taranaki; they want him and Wellington are willing to release him.

The holdup. Taranaki won't meet Tialata's price. How much did Sir Colin and Sir Brian get paid again?

He must really want to play the game.
