Should party pills be banned?

Why won' t a simple no suffice. Why should be ban anything? Because people are bad at making decisions. So we get special 'people' to make the decision for us. That special people I am referring to is the New Zealand government. I don't even want to use the party pills because I am informed on them and they don't entice me. Don't worry, I won't deprive you from having them.

KiwiSaver Hurting Non-Profit Research

KiwiSaver was created to encourage savings so that people can have more money when they are 65 and older. This is New Zealand's superannuation plan. The government forces businesses to contribute to KiwiSaver and then compensates them with tax breaks. This can work for a business that pays taxes. What about non-profit organisations? They get no incentive but must also contribute. This seems to be a loophole that is not publicised much. Non-profit research in New Zealand just took a 4% hit of all donations forever!

New Zealand's Power Cut Tragedy: The Facts

The news stations and websites have been making a huge deal about cutting someones power and them dying. There are very simple reasons why it shouldn't have happened but they seem to be overlooked. Firstly, someone who is reliant on power should not be put in a standard house as power cuts do happen often enough that you probably wouldn't survive 6 months. Secondly, pay your power bills on time all the time if you think that losing power will affect your well being. The Press wrote a reasonably non biased article trying to play down some of the craziness that has been going on here. The Prime minister has even jumped on the band wagon to try and gain popularity. Possibly because she is very unpopular right now.
