Are we shooting the messenger her and possibly losing sight of the content of the message?
Sure there has been manipulation and coercion - doesn't change the fact of what went on for two years.
I for one was a little surprised to hear what Auckland's mayor got up to under his desk, on his desk, in nearby offices, in hotels, all while running the super city. Maybe it's just a part-time job running the city - or maybe Doug McKay runs the place, leaving Len with too much spare time on his hands.
Rather than worrying about how the message got out, are there not more important questions to be asked here, such as does Len command the respect of his fellow council in a way that would be required to perform his duties?

In case that sounds rude - I will happily wait for the next weeks show!

Gaming......yawn. Ah well - I'm sure someone will find the show interesting.

Hard News: Media3 will be away for a while, in reply to Damian Christie,
Isn't July the month before August?! Or did you mean finish in August 2013 and restart July 2014? That's crazy! I'm hoping you can swing NO DOWNTIME for Back Benchers as it is a great show and important portal into NZ politicians personalities.

Does Igloo allow you to record with an EPG yet? Seemed like a great idea until I realised you can't record - there's no going back once you've had MySKY and/or Tivo.

Thanks for that post Russell, nice work - there's been far too much sensationalism in this whole debate.

Left Bank?
@BenWilson - I'm still laughing.

Shhhh....don't tell everyone about the best little secret of the South Pacific!
You are right - Savai'i is a little more pristine than Upolu generally, although if you do get out to the eastern end of Upolu (even inland - like Richardson Rd/Le Mafa Pass Rd) and out west (Apolima-Uta) it is pretty awesome.
Did you get to try any Koko Samoa? I am making chocolate in NZ from Samoan Trinitario cocoa beans if you'd like to try some.

Southerly: Things to be Grateful For: A…, in reply to David Haywood,
Well that must be heartbreaking - until I saw your pictures it seemed more like a dollars and cents exercise, when you see the mature fruit trees, hedging, tree house, proximity to the river, character bungalow, etc you realise what a loss it is - you had found a lovely environment for Bob to grow up in, I hope you can salvage some of it by relocating the house.

So help me understand...your gorgeous looking property is in the red zone and as such you will have to vacate at some point in the future? Or are you allowed to make repairs and stay on - no doubt without any insurer wanting to touch you?
