Rejuvanisation

Since I have no doubt that I am only talking to myself, then I need some more stuf…

I Accuse, I Accuse, I Accuse

Following the French tradition, I find that the Labour Party is behind many of New Zealand society’s worst ills.

 This surge of disgust came as I was walking down the road. My neighbours passed in their cars, they are nice enough people, but were fortunate to recieve a windfall due to the Government. I got quite angry as they were driving past in their late-model cars, not worrying about fuel consumption. (Who does when they are millionaires?) While in our complete contrast in my household where it is a daily struggle to pay the bills and feed the family. I realised that this was solely due to the Labour Government mismagament of everything in our country. Indeed it is a testament to our people that we still carry on with a smile on our faces and a growl in our hungry stomaches.

EDUCATION: It is fitting I start with the education sector as I am still in it…

 The problem with the Education sector is that they are increasingly beeing relied on to fix parent’s stuff ups. This is because they are working more and more hours or were simply not given positive role models. This is a problem because Schools are focussing less on their purpose of teaching. This is flowing through to higher levels with higher achievers left bored or deliberately making trouble. This ensposuses a culture of mediocrity, which is currently reducing the society, the good honest people genuinely interested in helping each other.

 This then undermines the quality of people flowing through to the workforce. However, what ever happened to the ‘free eduaction’ promised to us. My parents pay $60 a month just for mine and my sister’s school fees. So the government is underfunding my education by $360 per year. When applied to the whole school population this puts an incredible strain on families.

HEALTH:

Despite Labour’s millions in this area they haven’t solved our health problem. Infact they have increased it. We have hundreds of thousands of patients being refused basic hospital services, and only being done when they are seriously in severe need of it. It would be easier if they just solved it in the first instance.

 Where has all the money gone? Breaucracy. There are 5 administrators to every hospital bed in New Zealand. This has come about because of the introduction of many DHBs. They are a good idea, but have gone too far. There are 4 District Health Boards in Auckland, with similar population in the rest of the country. There is many duplication of resources here, wouldn’t it make more sense and save more money, if we had a more efficent service?

 CRIME:

One thousand more police. Where? Chasing far the most part law abiding citizens who are only guilty of travelling at 10kmh above the spped limit. Ridiculous when crime reporting is going down due to a willingness by the police to chase speedsters.

 Most people when burgalled first ring their insurance agent, because they know the police will not do anything if told. In the past twenty years, we have become exposed to a torrent of vicious murders, devious frauds and dangerous gang influence. The problem with more gang influence is the immense social problems they then cause with huge availability of drugs, the break down of families and society. And the Serious Fraud Office was closed down by the Labour Government. Good timing there in a time of many serious internet fraud crime.

 And the cause for all this? A simple lack of respect. The Labour Government has cracked down on people’s rights against criminals in the name of Prisioner rights. Remember those felons have broken the law. Also the huge number of truant pupils and welfare bludgers are spreading this, being bored, having nothing to do, go for vandalism. They then realise they wont be caught and go on and on, until they fill the jails past bursting point. Where there are many corrupt guards willing to provide them with contraband.

 THE ECONOMY:
The Labour Government have failed to provide investment in the productive sectors of the economy. They have risen up an economic wave they did not create and frittered the money away.

We are now facing astronomical prices for goods and services. A kilo block of cheese can exceed $17. A litre of petrol will soon break the $2 mark. Power bills are going up and up, while wages stay low. House prices are high, while interest rates keep creeping up.

The Labour Governemnt has failed New Zealand, by not spending where it was required in the Transport sector, not relieving exceesive taxes on petrol, a second-world communications system and a electricity sector that will fail to keep up with demand. We will experience blackouts this year due to the reduction of the Cook Strait cable capacity and back up generators going in months in advance of normal winter demand. We put up with slow internet connections due to the Government’s failure to intervene earlier and buy the lines off Telecom. Morgages have gone up with interest rates and many people are stretching themselves to the limit.

Added to that we have a high New Zealand dollar that eats up our export dollars, while people gorged on debt, on the back of cheap imports. Now the crows are coming home to roost. The Meat industry is severely effected by this and may disappear into Dairying, a ecological time bomb when implemented in areas that cannot support it such as Canterbury.

And not giving tax cuts while sitting on a surplus, well its gone down, down the drain. A shame for all New Zealanders, when we had a real chance to shine as a country on the World Stage.

GLOBAL WARMING:

I’m not going to blame Labour for Global Warming but they haven’t done one positive thing. Thay are simply justing creating more emissions to justify breaucrats existance. The BMW cars, their failure to set a firm target for emissions. Also DOC’s buying up of good high country and failing to save our native species.

THE LABOUR PARTY, has constantly expanded the breaucracy and maniuplated its way into power. Look at the pledge cards which were allowed after their law change. look at the Electoral Finance Act which restricts the right of ordinary people to say what they think about the political process.

I accuse the Labour Party because they have failed our future in education. I accuse them of abusing our current wealth with trashing the economy. I accuse them also because we are also not safe due to the increase in Crime and wont be comfortable in old age due to lack of health.

I accuse, I accuse, I accuse.

Monday at school

Well, Monday wasn’t my typical day at school. Firstly I had tutor group and Mr Evans was not there. Annoying as he can be he doesn’t put up with student crap, while relievers are hard-pressed to fufil the job. Result, students were being dicks and I got sick of it. I wasn’t able to sign diaries like I was supposed to do.

 Then I thought I had study, but then realised after checking my diary I had Chemistry. Then had Economics. Physics, then Arts Commitee meeting. I was appointed chair, and have promptly forgotten all else, lol.

Calc and Sips followed. I then went on the computers at school, then went to mum’s work. Had tea at home, went to singing lesson. I’m now doing Trinity College Grade 8 rather than Royal Schools. Thats just about it folks. 

Hello world!

Hello there,

My name is Ross Calverley. I live in Alexandra, a small town of 5,000 people in Central Otago, New Zealand. I am a Year 13 Student at Dunstan High School, so that means I get to take 30 Year 10s on camp… I’m not sure if I’ll survive… lol. I am a member of the New Zealand Secondary Students Choir, so must be pretty good at singing. I also sing solely by myself, which is pretty good, but SSC is way better. I’m also quite a nerd getting NCEA Level Two with Merit (lol, so nerdy…). I didn’t do very well, you see. Better luck this year, methinks (and me hopes). I’m interested in politics and am a member of many political sites on Bebo.

 That’s all for now folks,

Ross.
