National Looking for a New Theme Song based on the 1989 hit song Secret Love
A reliable source close to John Key has sent ROPs a tape of top level National discussions. The tape reveals that
National, after Maurice Williamson decided to sing about the secret agenda on Agenda, has approached the company that
owns the rights to "Secret Love" to see if National can obtain those rights in order to write a new version called
"Secret Agenda". National has changed the first verse as follows:
Once we had a secret agenda
That lived within the heart of Key
All too soon our secret agenda
Oh, became impatient to be free
National has not however been able to come up with good rhymes for the succeeding verses and will be putting this out
to the public for suggestions.
For the lines:
Now I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
they have the words:
Now Maurice told a friendly interviewer
The way that schemers often do
But they are stuck for suggestions for the rest of the verse.
And for the lines:
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
They have the words:
Bill might as well have shouted from the highest hills
Told it all without the frills
So dear readers if you can help National out with a redraft of this popular song I will be certain to pass it along to
John Key.
Maurice to tell all: Road Tolls, Private Management of State Schools and Hospitals
A number of commentators are suggesting that Maurice and National are not only enthusiastic about getting us to pay up
to $50 a week for new roads but that state schools and public hospitals are part of the agenda as well. We should be
very pleased that Maurice has joined other National politicians in providing more and more information on National's
actual policies rather than those that their spin doctors have clearly been feeding to us. We know that Kiwibank is
being lined up for sale ( eventually) , that four weeks annual leave is to be eroded , that KiwiSaver employer
contributions will go and that in the mangled words of Lockwood Smith many other dead fish have had to be swallowed so
more of the secret policies are likely to be thrown up in the near future. Watch this space!
Now where did I put that spare $100,000?
Winston Peters and his lawyer Brian Henry have provided great entertainment in the last week in front of the Privileges
Committee. While most of us notice what happens to sums like $ 100,000 (Owen Glen) and $25,000 (Bob Jones) when we
happen to get them (which may not be that often) these two merry men have a most cavalier attitude to such sums. These
and others sums have passed backwards and forwards between a myriad of accounts at such a speed that it made them both
quite dizzy and they lost track of what was going where, from whom and in to whose pocket. The complexity of accounts in
the Winebox saga has nothing on this. It has been hard enough for Mr. Peters and Mr. Henry to remember which account the
money from Glenn and Jones went to without having to recall what happened to the money from the Vela brothers of the
racing industry and that from Simunovich Fisheries. Hopefully voters will relieve Mr. Peters of the need to seek
donations after this election. But watch out for the sudden discovery of an immigrant group that threatens us and from
whose machinations to destroy all we hold dear we can only be saved by voting New Zealand First.
Progressive DVD
Readers are asking when this is available. Shooting is almost complete and once editing is finished and copies run off
ROPs will advise you how to get this valuable resource on Progressive achievements and the Polices for this election in
