I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently as we have a number of big projects underway at the moment - you'll hear more about these later.
It's interesting to see that a number of other commentators are picking up on the theme of the previous blog about the chances of an early election.
Results of the latest business confidence survey and opinion poll, plus the observation that Labour was better prepared for an election than its opponents all add weight to the argument for an election before September.
On another note it is nice to see that financial planners are indeed the chosen ones.
Normally financial planners rate near the bottom of the most trusted or respected occupations - along with politicians and used car salesmen.
Well the other day when Prince Charles was in town a number of planners were invited to the Princes' Trust luncheon in Auckland, along with a range of other business people.
I figured financial planners must be the chosen ones as they were the first group invited to meet and talk with the Prince after lunch.
Just before I go a word of praise for the Hanover Group. Apparently they came on board as major sponsors of the Princes' Trust just before Prince Charles came to New Zealand.
I didn't know anything about the trust prior to the luncheon, but have to confess to being quite moved by its work helping young people stay on the rails.
Well done
