Beat me again Russ. No that wasn't a request, I meant you beat me to it. I was going to link to http://www.dailyhowler.com on Tammy Bruce's "The New Thought Police"
And
Entry under quotas
People from the Pacific Islands continued to enter and stay in New Zealand during the late 1970s and 1980s, legally if they could, illegally if they could not. From 2002, under the Samoan quota, 1,100 Samoan citizens could be granted residence each year provided they had a job offer and met other conditions.
A Pacific Access category set quotas for people from Tonga, Fiji, Tuvalu and Kiribati to be granted residence in New Zealand. Pitcairn Islanders were considered for residence provided they had a firm job offer in New Zealand.
The Quota is a LIMIT to the number of people from a specific country NOT a target.

Clydesdale is just another Neigh sayer and that guy Simon is sounding like he's a little horse himself.
who ever suggested we not have a variety of cultures on our country? It's not the same thing to say that we should have a right to choose who comes into the country so that we actually gain from them joining us, rather than have them pull us down.
We? Us? This guy Simon obviously hasn't heard of the ubiquitous THEM. Those that make those decisions for us after we vote them into power on promises of tax free oats. Now, where's that Wensleydale..........

I must add. When I first saw this I thought of the Williamson Rd Shell Station ;-)

You are not alone
Eddie Izards supermarket thingy. Badger with a gun? WTF -
a lot of the zeal behind the court case had to do with some Cold War spy catchers excited because they thought they'd actually caught their first spy
And that, my freinds, is about all there is to this story. Russ, can you enlighten me as to why you think there is anything other than mild historic interest in this?
I am still supprised you didn't go with the TV3 Beatup, it had me shouting at the TV, but that is not at all uncommon these days. -
Damn it Russell. I just lost a wager. I bet that you were going to lead with the obvious beatup on the "Power Crisis" that TV3 ran with last night. I thought Transpower Chief Executive Patrick Strange was more than patient with John Campbell. Was Campbell trying to get him to say "we are not worried about power supply"? The point Campbell seemed to be coming back to all the time was "Should the Gummint have acted sooner" The only "GASP" danger was the Otahuhu B plant will be shut down until the leak was fixed and while it was cool, they could inspect the steam system. FFS call a plumber and get over it.

an uneven playing field where the goal posts never stop moving.
I thought you'd stopped drinking. ;-)

I keep saying I wouldn't like to find myself in a lifeboat with Helen Clark,
Helen is a survivor,
Be it on mountain or plain,
the like of which amongst leaders is seldom seen,
by her side the valiant captain Mike
a treasury of wit who is rarely sullen,
together they face the foaming sea
but try in vain to fathom the secret Key
the key that claims to set us free
alas it's not meant to be.
the freedom that the people hanker
will not be found with such a banker. -
Sorry, Forgot the Link

Just when you thought bathing in milk was a good idea;
Breaking NewsMILK - A RECIPE FOR CANCER
And I don’t care what anybody says, growth hormones, fat, cholesterol, allergenic proteins, blood, pus, antibiotics, bacteria, and viruses do not “do a body good!” Then why does such a large portion of America continue to buy dairy products when they go shopping? Corporate brainwashing and propaganda, that’s why! Obviously words like “pus” would turn most educated consumers off, so the mega dairy industry continues to spend billions of dollars each and every year to glamorize the drinking of milk and convince us that it’s the only worthwhile source of calcium, and that without it, our bones are going to become brittle and crumble like the great walls of Jericho.
Obviously a serious intellectual analysis, you can tell by the large number of colours and types of font used for this informative site.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Interweb, what a well of truth you are.
