Hard News: Illegal Highs, in reply to Mellopuffy,
And before some smartass mentions alcohol, please note that alcohol (and weed) consumption is a hell of a lot easier for medical staff and police to monitor or control than tiny pills.
Because the sale of alcohol is regulated, perhaps? Not perfectly, but it is.

It's interesting that Dunne is the only one from the government fronting this. I wonder if he decided unilaterally to announce it, just to pre-empt Labour, and didn't tell his colleagues until after the event.

Hard News: Sorting out our thinking on drugs, in reply to Russell Brown,
And in the latest update, it now appears clear that Dunne had no plans to make an announcement until Labour sent out a notice about its announcement tomorrow.
Most cynical piece of electioneering I've seen in a long, long time.

Hard News: The Internet Party, whatever happens, in reply to Matthew Poole,
You’re confused about what a liberal is.
Tories usually are.

Hard News: Schools: can we get a plan up…, in reply to Max Call,
so decile rankings are based on data from 2006? Even though we have data from 2013?
It always takes a while for census data to be finally released. You can't put everything on hold while you wait for the latest data. Planning takes time.
What Russel is referring to (IMHO) is the disinclination of this government to pay any attention to evidence, no matter what year it was from.

So why doesn’t the ministry build single sex schools any more, when they’re clearly still popular?
Because mainstream (whatever the hell that really means...)

Hard News: Crowdfunding Time, in reply to Russell Brown,
I’m not sure it’s a priority, to be honest. The comments styling does work and it might not be cheap to introduce full GUI editing.
Yep, I suspect it's non-trivial, given that Supermodel is hand-rolled by Cactuslab. You don't have the repository of plugins that larger distributions have.
-
Hard News: Crowdfunding Time, in reply to Sacha,
ah, so a graphical editing interface.
Could be admirably simple as well.According to the Cactuslab site, Supermodel does have a GUI editor for the long form articles, but it doesn't mention anything about comments.

Hard News: Oh, Auckland, in reply to Stephen R,
There is, and down by Te Papa, as well as the corner of Victoria St and Vivian. But Russ' point is that you don't get the same scale and diversity outside south Auckland, and that's because you don;t have the same population density.
-
Go, Auckland.
We often say that, but it never leaves...
