IRD Secure Site Still Down

Given the penalties and short shrift given to the general public by the IRD if we ever have the temerity to be late with a return or payment; or worse make a mistake - the least they could do is have a working website. If our site goes down for an hour my ass is on the line; one that has been down for over a week is a disgrace. IRD get your **** together, please. Just a shame I can't invoice you for all my time you are wasting through your ineffectiveness.

So where is the Greens response?

How about getting HER fixed?

One of my pet peeves with the Green Party within New Zealand is their continued lack of response let alone leadership on the worlds largest environmental issue.

They seem to be able to propose measures like killing 25 percent of the countries cows - yet when it comes to the root causes like over breeding they are spineless and silent at best.

At worst they generally support this type of activity belying their true communist roots and exposing their green facade for what it is - facile and disposable.
