On One News tonight there was a story on a Rotorua tourism company that talked about fewer visitors but a higher value. That's quite a fancy way to say we've put our prices up and are pricing locals out.

Damien Grant's article today is that we need billionaires, and for a man who has made his opinion writing career out of being wrong, this is perhaps the most wrong he has ever been.

Luxon's not entirely wrong. We DO need to consider what assets we have and how best to manage them. In general, my viewpoint is that if it is critical infrastructure that we would be in serious trouble if it failed (eg NZ Railways), we shouldn't consider selling.

I think the free 3 GP visits for NZ'ers regardless of income is a good idea. In general universality is easier to manage, doesn't punish people who don't own their own business (who often miraculously seem to earn very little while stile driving the latest model cars).

I keep on coming back to the irrefutable fact that the people in New Zealand that don't want to address the impact of colonisation and argue "it's in the past, the current generation are not responsible for that" continue to enjoy benefits that flowed directly from that colonisation.

I believe Monrad Intermediate is closed today as well as College Street School and PNINS because of the fire at the Fitz last night. Meanwhile, Pak'n'Save (right across the road from the fire), all the hotels and Motels along Fitzherbert Avenue (much closer than Monrad) all remain open.
