It was always coming because it's part of the coalition deal. But the Willis letter to a couple of select committees sets up, of all the inquires and market studies we have had, probably the most interesting investigation yet. Banks and whether we are getting a decent deal, is there enough competition? The rural community is screaming at the moment over their behaviour, there seems a very fair weather/social licence issue there. The Reserve Bank and commercial banks are at each other. Observers

Another one of those sensible moves this week, with an amendment coming to the Climate Change Response Act. It's to make sure agriculture doesn't enter the Emissions Trading Scheme. On a side note, the report the previous Government commissioned to look at how we handle agriculture around climate change was called He Waka Eke Noa. Tell me what that means. Anyone. Tell me the translation of He Waka Eke Noa to English. And in that was part of the ongoing angst over the Maorification of New Zealand
