    Happiest of birthdays Russ, notwithstanding the physical impairments. Looking forward to the party and catch up. As Hillary says, you’ve done a shitload of good out there and really made a difference. That’s something to be proud of.

  • Hard News: From Zero: The Meth Episode,

    The way it was reported on RNZ this morning made me think West Akl police are not going to prosecute low level dealing and use but I missed the offer of treatment.

    Russ - how do you think this changes the perception of meth? I always saw it as one of the truly evil drugs (never used, never exposed to it) with a genuine probability of addiction.

    Doesn't a softening of approach demonstrate yet again the folly of a 'Reefer Madness'-type demonisation of a recreational drug and therefore undermine any attempt at control as people realise they're being lied to again?

  • Up Front: I Never Been ta Borstal,

    I experienced emotional violence of a pretty high order from a girlfriend for two years. My family and friends reacted with humour and put downs. Violence in men by women is treated as a joke. It's not.

    Then why the hell did he crap on about how much money he’s spending?!

    In a post-Truth political reality, why should he care?

    Nice one Russ - you really do superb work and while I understand the weariness you must feel (god, I feel it too), you're doing God's work (if there was a God, of course...)
