OnPoint: Ich bin ein Cyberpunk, in reply to Idiot Savant,
I understand that.
But in my dystopia, La Collins was incarcerating merely for act of employing encryption...
'no smoke without fire' seems to be quite a popular conjecture from what I am hearing on my rounds -
And it started out so hopeful...
The more I read from you boffins, the more it seems to me that the solution to this problem is political rather than technical.How about a Green/Labour promise to release the details (on request) of all the NZ people that have had their data collected once they are in power? (minus any that are actively being investigated for genuine 'terrorist' activity)
Would public opinion on the value of civil liberty shift somewhat once they knew the scale of what was really happening? -

What I’d love to know is how you make your arse shiny. Wax? A protective laminate? Daily applications of olive oil?
Could try asking the Attorney General.
Doubt it would be friction related in his case.
By the by - are the stories of his Confederate Flag bedspread apocryphal? (not suggesting that you would know from personal experience of course - perish the thought) -

That was on Edam.
Got some Gorgonzola.
Bit scared to try... -
Or alternatively - maybe I should stop eating cheese before bedtime

August 24th 2019
The Opening of the Chatham Island State Prison.
President Collins steps forward to address the huge crowd."For many years, the enemies of our happy nation have been laughing at us with their devious practices of encryption. Subversives and paedophiles have been free to spread their filth and terror, our children constantly under threat of falling prey to their perverted minds."
"Now we have a final solution. Now we can stop them. Now we can go back to One Nation New Zealand - free of this 'secret society' that has been living amongst us in the shadows." (much cheering)
"As we have ALWAYS said 'nothing to hide - nothing to fear' but that's not good enough for some." (Much nodding and mutterings of agreement from the officials in attendance)
"Well now They have a choice. Now They can choose a life behind bars or a trial by a jury of truly decent people like those gathered before me"
"It's a fair and simple decision and in Their hands - so let's remind them!"
Smiling, she raises her fist and the crowd erupts into chants of the Presidents Official Campaign Slogan - GIVE US THE KEY OR YOU'RE NOT FREE!! -
Hard News: So long, and thanks for all…, in reply to Hebe,
but only if you all get your shit together pronto
That's what a true leader can do.
I'm glad to see some passion at last - Labour just needs more control and direction -
Hard News: So long, and thanks for all…, in reply to Keir Leslie,
Is Ardern not ready yet? She’s been an MP as long as Robertson and longer than Little.
After her reaction to the "zip it, sweety" episode, I think she needs to bake a bit longer - skin's still a bit thin
-
Good work.
People like us need people like you.
Sod the others - will you stand for Labour Party leader? -
For what it’s worth, out here in the boondocks, the general feeling seems to favour Cunliffe. Lefty people I have spoken to are just desperate for someone, anyone, who can take the fight to Key - niceness and reasonableness wont cut it.
Personally, my feeling is that it’s just the wrong time for Robertson - there has just been so much “gay” in the air recently (and rightly so) that it will make Labour look like they are just playing the same one note tune.
Grant Robertson is just one big, sloppy, wet dream for the Matthew Hootons of this world (apologies for the imagery)
