I say crime, roads, education, health, military is what the surplus should be spent on as well as medical research.

lol stole my thread idea <_<

wasnt there something about a new secret military base or something on campbell live....

lol I am so onto it with politics.

Yes I did.

the us currently have a base in christchurch but they are planning to move it to stewart island. They would not just move it there but they would effectively own a chunk of stewart island. This is something that is just in negotiations at this point in time.

I am against it, as will a lot of new zealanders I should hope.


This is how I would divide the money.

$4 billion 7 ways is $5,714,285.71 on each area (including reducing student debt), that would make a lot of people happy.

We have Australia as our military power. Everyone has to go through them to get to us :lol:

Except for Australia of course... hmmm, one might want to think about that...

my budget for the surplus

yea the new base plan is a BIG nono.

so, give it to schools, health of course. More R&D subsidies for business, promote tech businesses. wouldnt mind some fighter jets. More naval ships to catch those japanese whale "researchers".

And also go easy on the foreign aid payments i say.

liz_shaw - April 2, 2005 12:01 PM (GMT)
I agree that the government should restrict its foreign aid payments. we need to look after our own country first.

Errr..
I think the secret base plan was meant to be an April fools thing?

yams - April 2, 2005 12:13 PM (GMT)
really, i just heard it on the ad for the show, please explain.

liz_shaw - April 2, 2005 12:15 PM (GMT)
It can't have been because April Fool's only goes until 12pm on april the first.

The show aired last night at 7pm which was April Fool's day.

I thought it might be an april fools prank but I wanted to know if it was or not so I watched intently.
