So, what did I tell you about the police???
If you're in New Zealand then you've probably heard the news about police viewing pornography at work. Apparently 330 staff around the country are viewing this material on their work computers. First of all, when do they get the time to view porn at work, and second, how can they get away with it at work? I know where I work if it was discovered that we were viewing porn at work then we would be dismissed immediately! This should happen with the police too! I know axing 330 staff sounds like a big thing, but it would serve as a deterant to other businesses and organisations.
If you want to view this type of thing on the Internet then do it at home - not at work!

What are the Police doing?
Thought it was about time I wrote down my thoughts about this. I can't believe how annoyed I get at the police. Just this morning in the town I live in I saw a cop car just driving around the streets, and I thought to myself "why isn't he out fighting crime?"
I have had some stupid experiences with the police. When I was learning to drive I was driving home from church one night. I had my father with me and because it was one of the first times I had driven in the dark I hit the curb. A cop pulled us over and wanted to know if I had been drinking? Huh? I had just come from church. And one time I went to a church dance in Wellington. There was a cop just around the corner from the chapel checking people for drunk driving - we thought "he's not going to get many tonight!"
When I lived in Sydney the flat I was living in got broken into. Although not much was stolen the flat was trashed and I was pretty shook up. We called the local police, and they took about an hour to arrive. When they did arrive they said, "We think we know who did it but we can't do anything about it." Good grief!
One time I was driving around Lake Taupo and I had to stop quickly at some roadworks. Obviously the guy behind me was travelling too close as he crashed right into the back of me. When I got out to see the damage he took off! So I called the cops and they eventually came. I said what had happened and they went looking for the guy. They caught up with him and then when they came back to my they said that the other guy had said it was my fault! Good grief! Don't you think a hit and run is his fault?? Duh!
And another time I got a speeding ticket for doing 62km/h in a 50km/h zone - man, I must have been hoofing it that day!
Recent cases here in New Zealand include a taxi instead of a police car being sent out to that girl in West Auckland, and she ended up dead; and reports in the news of all the unassigned rape cases. Where are the police - they're gathering revenue by waiting for drivers to go 2km over the speed limit!!

Petrol price hike
Petrol has gone up yet again here in New Zealand. It's now 129.5 cents per litre!
It went up 5 cents a litre today with a new petrol tax by the government. Apparently this tax is for roading. We'll just have to wait and see how much actually goes on roading.
I thought the 5 cents price hike today was an April Fools Day joke - obviously not.
