I think you are thinking of New Zealand. The push didnt fail because it was tough, it failed because one of the political parties currently in power ( New Zealand First) has Phillip Morris lobbyists so far up its ass they are breathing for two.

New Zealand First had the law reverted and then Casey Costello, who is Associate Health Minister, gave tax breaks to companies offering "heated tobacco products" which is only Phillip Morris.

Lifted a ban on vapes without removable batteries so Phillip Morris could release their HTP

And the only thing in this blatent corruption scandel that they got in the neck was the handling of some fudged numbers and dodgy conclusions that Miss Costello says she "had no idea where they came from"

Fucken corupt basterds the lot of them

USA also have the "cooperation" of Venezuala, who holds the largest oil fields in the world. So they are just oil mad at this point.

Got a mate popping over from Australia so meeting up with another mate in Auckland we will do some rubber necking around Auckland then heading down to Ohakune to spend a few nights around Tongariro. Then back up to Auckland to fly down to Christchurch. In the South Island We will probably do some day walks in Arthurs and Lewis Passes, hit up Hamner and the hot pools, grab some fish and chips in Kaikoura. nothing really planed just giving our Aussie mate a slice of Aotearoa.

Let me get this straight. Air New Zealand, a company that the government owns a dominant number of controling shares in, is not performing how the government wants. The governments big idea to get Air New Zealand to do what the government wants is for the government to give up its controlling position in this company???

Do i have this correct? Is Rimmer all there? Does the computer generating the hologram need a check up?

Spent last night going through all the political parties and their policies. Damn do they suck! Labour was the only one who had concrete policy and even then only on doctors visits and loans for new doctor practices.

Every other party from the Greens to Act or all nothing burgers and hot air sentenses usually taking the form of "this is a problem, we will fix it" no "how" or "what with"

I know its early in the election cycle but its still very lax
