I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car’s headlights and
tell you exactly which way it’s coming. -- Mitch Hedberg
what they’re talking about. I’ve just turned 80 years of age. I’m no mathematician but I scored 64 in 51 seconds without
sweating. The car and the ship problems I presume were done mentally and when I went to school were just part of the
days work.
My conclusion? Today’s teachers are against rote times-tables because they just don’t know them !! Back to basics !!!!!

To The Editor:
Very refreshing to see editorial opinion emanating from west of SH1 that confirms the worst fears held out east about
the commissioners, their skills, their motives and their goals.
I attended recently the Field days event, and was astonished at how many people stopped by the Ratepayers booth
there to vent their spleen about KDC and the commissioners.
Add to this the fact that the booth itself was buried deep inside that bastion of commissioner support, Farmers of New
Zealand, and you can begin to gauge the true level of anger and frustration among the people there.
Robertson is reported to have said that the level of anger and grief is such that things will have to be fixed before
anyone moves forward. The level of anger and grief would scale back rapidly if there was the very slightest trace of
evidence that he was going to act on his own advice.
What the commission says--- LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!! Is “Just give us time to fit you serfs up with every cent of the
crippling debt that has been illegally incurred, and we’ll bust our backsides to look for the culprits, just as soon as we
have packed our bags and left town forever”. You ought to take them seriously.
They are like a man asking his paramour for sexual favours right now in exchange for a promise to take the garbage out
next Thursday.
Ian Leighton has done some sterling work and has found that the rates increase in 2012-13 was not 19 odd % overall,
but more like THIRTY. So they LIED to you about that, but you’re rich and you pay by direct debit, so what the hell,
who cares, Rates are rates, and there’s no point getting upset about them, even if they are illegal, unsustainable,
unjustifiable, and wrong. Life’s not perfect, and why make a fuss?
The replacement gang, courtesy of Carter the Darter, are going to fit you up with a much, much bigger increase on top
of that- and some of the perennial victims out there who grew up thinking that most people wearing expensive shirts and
ties are not crooks, have fallen for it, because on the surface, Robertson seems and sounds like somebody’s uncle.
If this commission gets away with what they are intending (and when asked what they were intending they looked down
at the floor like someone who has been caught stealing from the orphans’ jar) Kaipara goes down like a deer in the
headlights. Greg Gent (another Carter the Darter man) threatened us all with Armageddon last August- we now know
he was actually referring to the anguish that would be caused at the BNZ (an house he has affection for though he has
never actually boarded there) if the council folded. Well Armageddon is on its way people, but the apocalypse is coming
for YOU, not the government and the banks, unless you get off your couch and do something- such as cancelling the
direct debit to KDC that is going to bankrupt you.
