Marmite

Danyl Strype Public Seen by 22

What policy should the Pirates have on preventing future outbreaks of Marmageddon? Should we propose a properly-funded Minstry of Marmite, or will that offend potential supporters who oppose Big Government?

We should have two jars added to the recommended emergency kit list and leave it at that.

Sue votes for a Ministry of Marmite. We can use the extra funding that will be freed up when we downsize the GCSB.

Do we have a policy on downsizing the GCSB? I sure hope so, we really have far more intelligence agencies and spying capacity than a country the size of New Zealand should be able to justify.

Good point on the GCSB Bruce. Would you like to open a thread on that too in the Policy Group?

The banning of Vegemite should solve the problem; marmite would be the universal spread.

Careful, someone might not realize this is satire!

Outcome

The outcome is that proposals that go wildly outside of our core policy are not going to get adopted unless they merit it. So @davidpeterson frequent argument on other threads is a strawman.

When marmite has been spread on toast, it must have a teaspoon or more of Jalapeño sauce or Habernero sauce on top.
