Armchair critics ? But of course nothing to see here say keyboard apologists.Delays on relatively minor cases, such as accessing computers should be, are legendary. But not this time it seems that like flotsam it has risen to the top of the list

How does the jurisdiction work where Cathy Odgers is concerned, given that she (as I understand) spends much of her live in Hong Kong, and presumably carried out many of the alleged actions from there?
Ask Kim Dot Com how those jurisdiction issues work ?

I thought Herkts previous 'histories' were more of a 'screenplay' version.

Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to Martin Brown,
You forget that the compulsion in Australia extends down to the bottom of the food chain, local councils too.
Plus there is state elections and when I was there the councils voted one third of Councillors every year.
And the Senate, until recently was at a different date to the House of RepresentativesPlus it was all ways the preferential voting system where <i> every</i> candidate had to be ranked.
Because they have had it for about a century they can get away with it, NZ ? -
If they are running their polling questions this close to election, its likely to find out how various messages have worked for various demographics.

Speaker: The End of Trust, in reply to Paul Brislen,
They knew what his day job was/is but didn’t bother to inform the audience.
Farrar is PAID by the National party for a whole lot of things. Polls sounds innocent until you know he is polling specific National policies or reactions to Labour policies.
Then on top of that Farrars is Nationals go to guy for election boundaries and the whole census results for political purposes. -
communities (which might be local councils, but could be iwi or affinity groups) decide on the details of drug legalisation/regulation/prohibition for their people?
We used to have this for alcohol. When I first was eligible to vote we had a prohibition question on the ballot paper. Eventually Big Alcohol undermined it. Large parts of Auckland were 'dry' right up to the late 70s.
