Another Herald handjob for the right. I love the prize doofus clinging to "freeing up business" as the answer - talk about not grasping what's just happened to him. And yes, "bold" might look normal to someone who has been doing business in Russia at the pleasure of Putin and co.

John Roughan has a suggestion about the port, after reflecting about protecting neighbourhood trees:
merge the port company with Tauranga which could take the Tank Farm tomorrow, along with the cars and bananas behind the red fence.
Not sure how he plans to mitigate the resulting loss of local income and jobs, but the stuff about trees is probably representative of discussions around the region.

Oh look, Chris Keall weighs in somewhat optimistically at NBR. I'm taking his opinions with a decent helping of salt after some of his wild assertions about s92 lately.

Actually I'll settle for any analysis.

I'd like to see more informed analysis of the likely impact on private sector investment of replacing Labour's approach with the new National one.

Scoop's collation of stories about the Royal Commission includes a variety of responses, many focused on the proposed representational arrangements which Cabinet seem likely to tweak next week.

Phelan's discourse is messy but it is not beautiful.
I agree.

Continuing the autism threadjack,
the DomPost explores pressure on under-resourced schools from a rise in autistic students.The plight was highlighted by a family that was asked to remove their child from an Auckland school last week because it did not have the resources or knowledge to cope, a principal said.
The school told the parents if they wanted the child to return they would have to pay for a teacher aide. It was only after intervention from a school that specialises in dealing with autism that the child was allowed to return to school.
...
"Nobody was accepting their child and they couldn't see a way forward."
The Education Act guarantees all children the right to attend their local school.

Academic papers aren't normally written for a non-academic audience...
Kyle, I agree, but I'm saying nobody is writing for the non-academic audiences. It's a waste when good thinking is walled off from most of the population, only to erupt confusingly like the paper that started this conversation.
That's a bigger problem than one field of study, but even in a strictly academic context, PoMo has a deserved reputation for verbiage regardless of the value of its underlying concepts.
