There's not many, only a few Politicians who can be respected, even fewer who deserve even applause or admiration, let alone elevation to true 'statesmanship'. But, Jacinta Price  is most certainly up there with the very best of the 'best'. My compliments, Milady..

I wonder, if that once all of the 'political' Argy-Bargy is done, a 'simpler', kinder solution to the basic problem may be found. This 'simple' solution has been of great benefit to this nation; there are many shining examples alive today to support this notion; in all walks of life. Not going to 'bang-on' – it has all been said before by wiser heads than mine.


Chinese proverb. (A good one). “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”.

Or, if you prefer the much earlier version – from the 12th century:-
