We are often implored ‘not to be political’ when we approach policy subjects that affect our lives and livelihoods.
Particularly business people are often requested to ’stay out of politics.’
This would be a reasonable request if, ‘politics would stay out of business.’”
- Ron Manners, “Should We All Become Political”
Someone should have sent that quote to Therese Gattung when she was pretending to herself that David Cunliffe wouldn’t molest her company if she just played nice. (Q: How do you get a nice small business? A: Take a large one, and make David Cunliffe the minister in charge.)
The take-home message here: If appeasement of the looters didn’t work for NZ’s (formerly) largest company, it sure as hell ain’t gonna work for you.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
