Alan Johnson • Child Poverty Action Group
Talked about who votes. Because children do not vote they do not get $700,000,000 last year 2010 that was added to retirement income. On Stratos TV at 6.30am 21 September Alan Johnson spoke. Made the point that old people are the responsibility of the family and not the state when people say children are the responsibility of parents.
Interesting point.

InDaParliament: How can NZ have $20 Trillion in Crown Minerals

How can NZ have NZD $20 Trillion in Crown Minerals
Dr Elder, CEO of Solid Energy, told 500 delegates, to Petroleium Conference, that NZD $5-$20 trillion in Crown Mineras exist in New Zealand territorial limits on August 2010, at Sky Tower Auckland New Zealand, in Dr Elders' key note speech.
On the maximum side let us take gold being 1/4 of NZD $20 trillion or NZD $5,000,000,000,000 or NZD $5x10^12 (is NZD $5 trillion) and at NZD $2,000 an ounce of gold is 2.5 billion ounces or 77.7 billion grams of gold or 77.7 million kilograms or 77.7 thousand tonnes of gold. (1 metric tonne = 32,150.746 Troy ounces)
If gold per troy ounce in future is worth NZD $10,000 an ounce then 15,551 tonnes of gold is worth five trillion dollars.
If gold in future is worth NZD $20,000 an ounce then 7,775 tonnes of gold is worth five trillion dollars.
Gold in New Zealand has increased from USD $257 to USD $1909.62 or seven fold in a decade (2001-2011). In New Zealnd Dollars NZD $581.18 to peaking at $2,307 or four times. Note the Nz to USA exchange rate flucuates from 0.40 (Jan 2001) to 0.88 (July 2011) over this time. Gold from USD $257 (18 Jan 2001) to USD $1909.62 (23 Aug 2011) can be compared to 2004 0.6832 exchange rate high and gold USD $319.89 (3 March)low or NZD $468.22 per ounce of gold. With a high 0.7186 March 2011 and $1426.83 march 2011 of NSD $2000.60 March 2011 to climb to NZD $2300 by August five months later.
A tonne of gold is 1/19.3 of a cubic meter. In other words 20 tonne of gold is a cubic meter 1m x 1m x 1m minus 5%. 77,700 / 20 = 3,660 m^3. 15,551 / 20 = 777 m^3
So 777 m^3 to 3,660 cubic meters of gold (relates to $10,000 an ounce to $2,000 an ounce respectively as limits to fall within in math) or 9m x 9m x 9m to 19m x 19m x 19m gold block
This gold block is from 5% land above the water (nz) and 95% out to sea that is United Nations recognises as being New Zealand's territory.
All gold in the world ever taken out of ground in human history can fills two olympic size swimming pools (5,000 M^3) c.f. 777m^3 to 3,660 m^3 of gold in and around New Zealand.
Your double garage surface area, in a two story sized house, is the foot print, and height, of the block of gold from New Zealand worth NZD $5 trillion dollars.
Now assuming gold is 1/4 the value in a rising market and we can look to make the other $15 trillion from oil, coal, silver, rear earths, etc. The question becomes is the value of New Zealand Crown Minerals in the order of magnitude between NZD $1 trillion and $20 trillion. Per capita this is between NZD $1,000,000 and NZD $5,000,000.
One percent royalty is leaves 99% for competitive tender process. One percent is NZD $10,000 to $50,000 but our over seas debt is NZD $250 billion or $ 50,000 per capita. The present system does not even service our debt if we kept status quo. That is assuming we realize all the minerals. This matter needs more discussion. What if we suggest 1 percent goes to secure our debt and 99% goes in a sovereign fund for New Zealand. That would deliver $950,000 to $4,750,000 per man, women and child in New Zealand. Seems like a better way to proceed.

" A total of 165,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, as of 2009.[1] This is roughly equivalent to 5.3 billion troy ounces or, in terms of volume, about 8500 m3, or a cube 20.4 m on a side. The world consumption of new gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry.[2]"

STV or MMP or other
What others are on offer. Well vote for a change at this election and find out. Either we vote for a change as a nation and then have options or we vote to keep MMP.
So lets look at this rationally. All the people who have any idea of a new idea will vote for a change. This will include all the FPP and a long long long tail of other options.
How safe is the MMP system in light of the coalition of the willing voters for change?
So let us think about if we do vote and it comes up for change. In three years time we get to discuss the option while MMP runs of the next three years after the election. The options are for the curious.
Now why did New Zealand go from FFP to MMP in the first place.
A change in Crown Minerals allocation from "Time Priority", that has run for 150 years, to "Competitive Tender" has been indicated 30 August 2011 http://www.nzpam.govt.nz/cms/news/2011/block-offer-strategy
This puts up $5 trillion to $20 trillion of Crown Mineral assets recognised by the UN for competitive tender. That is $1 million to $5 million per every man, women, and child of New Zealand Citizen. But what does a citizen get for this. 1% royalty. $10,000 per person for eternity and the multi nations get options on $20 trillion. http://www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/Ngai-Tahu-Whanui/Natural-Environment/Stocktake-of-Schedule-4-of-the-Crown-Minerals-Act-and-beyond.pdf (New Zealand above the water is 5% and 95% recognized by the UN is below the water. 20,000 years ago the sea level was 125 m below present and gold in the sea is twenty times that on land at least because heavy gold sinks to lowest levels)
This wealth was effectively nationalized in a no mining mantra and we observed the gold price go up ten times in one decade. Good move on the part of the country but too tight with the cash has plunged the nation into debt and beggars the children while sitting upon the greatest wealth per person in the world.
What does MMP have to do with this. Well the vote could be called a distraction while $20 trillion dollars are passed over legal title to multi nationals. Once the silver is secured does the voting system really matter? FPP or MMP. Well yes because the resources have to be extracted. So a government that has FPP mandates can facilitate the extraction.

Gold (in report estimated in 2008 March at 0.2 Trillion dollars on land)
In march 2007 January was USD$634 (0.68 exchange rate to NZ $932 per ounce) ,
2008 Oct USD732 (0.55 exchange rate to NZ $1330 per ounce),
2011 Aug USD$1880 (0.81 exchange rate to NZ $2320 per ounce of gold)
So the figures for gold value in that report have increased in value 2.4 times in 4.5 years.
Just the gold value is $8 trillion (2.4 X 0.2 trillion X 20 for undersea) not counting coal and oil or rare earths (on land and in sea)

Logo : Independent :: sign : ?
The logo of Independent candidates is the idea.
No logos
No party policy
Just the character of the person standing
Let the institutions of the democratic system be filled with people of character
Now it is time to open that up to the general seats and to have independent candidates stand
What is interesting is the ability to use social media after the election to gather all the independent candidates together who paid $300 each to stand (close to $20,000) and form a shadow parliament that goes forward helping the population as a bunch of good characters build and energize this nation
The name InDaParliament is my local electorate logo.
The website https://sites.google.com/site/indaparliament/ is the logo also and is growing. have a look at the new links, blog spot, twitter, even got some good links to political commentators in NZ
Vota R Young person InDaParliament is my logo.
Are you interested after the election collecting independents together as a project over three years
Also I wanted to ask about 7 independent candidates in the Maori electorates for this year.

Citizen-A plays on Stratos TV on Friday and being home looking after a sick child (9yr) from school I watched it. Diving into youtube I was able to find it after fiddling around on my iPad looking for the face book or twitter link to the Citizen-A to give a thumbs up. Refreshing to have comment on Happy Feet. I was able to use the iPad to send a comment. With 72 days to go to the election the webpage for independent (person's character to be voted on) has fanned out into the social media links. Commenting on Citizen-A's video introduced blogspot and here InDaParliament is.
