  • Speaker: Remembering the Chartists,

    The huge spectre of Greenpeace standing behind Keisha is reason enough to treat her as a hostile witness right from the get-go.

    And National/Act's do-nothing position has the backing of wealthy business interests - which I guess makes Key a "hostile witness" too. No one in any conversation is free of context or motivation, especially in politics.

    As Heather said, it's just part of an overall pattern of behaviour from the current Government, but I doubt Keisha or Greenpeace are too upset about things. Got some publicity after all.

    They seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that when the country voted labour out, they willingly offered the national caucus carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want.

    If people did not want an authoritarian daddy-knows-best style of government then they shouldn't have voted for Natonal, Act, etc - and keep saying they approve in opinion polls. Not much consolation for everyone else, but that's democracy.

    I agree about the entusiastic participants.

    That seems good, but I was thinking of a one-off event showcasing recipes contributed to by disabled people, and pitched as a showcase of top-notch creativity. Possibly alongside another purpose like an enterprise or awards thing, maybe like the Innovation Unleashed event we ran in 2006.

    A perm can be a very spiritual thing.

    Disabled people as contributors, not beneficiaries.

    It would also have to be frugal so you could to do it on a benefit.

    No - not food for disabled people, food BY disabled people.

  • Hard News: New Zealand Weekend Television,

    Possibly the only sane response to that sort of "news content" I've seen for months.

    Ever - made me love them more. Can you really imagine barbie and ken on the other news doing an unscripted routine like that?
