Tim BrownGUEST

Tim MurphyHOST
Nothing else has worked, and neither the Labour-led governments nor the National-led governments, despite all the reform of the Commerce Commission, the RMA, they're trying to make these measures, the pre-era RMA planning measures, invitations to big corporate companies from around the world to come here and see how good it could be and everything else.
Tim MurphyHOST
Nothing else has seemed to work.
Tim MurphyHOST
