Witchcraft, for instance.

Discussion at Standard of Waterview, supercity and crime as byelection issues, including Q&A transcript of Shearer and Lee exchanges about supercity.
Comments include a Labour electorate worker stating that crime does not figure in their local issues polling, and a claim that the Waterview decision will be released tomorrow - haven't been checking other sources myself to verify that.
Also prompted me to realise I wrongly labelled Tamihere as an ex-Nat rather than ex-Lab MP. Doh.

Thought I'd better clarify that before it pushed Mark over the edge. :)

Ok Sacha, now I'm confused.
I was responding to Steve's post about Mr Dexter's self-contradiction ( "you'll be able to show where I have criticised" - well, yes, actually).
Between when I refreshed the page and my post appeared, yours intervened. Uncanny. Trying to balance time spent quoting with posting. Unsuccessfully, in that instance.

Dratted simultaneous posting - I even checked that time.

It's not a good sign when someone mischaracterises their own position in an argument..

Fits and starts, Ian, apparently normal hereabouts.

Broader than policing, we seem to be witnessing a single failure and demanding wholesale changes in public systems.
There is no way to prevent incidents like this, which thankfully are rare. No amount of intelligence or resourcing can produce completely foolproof results, although lack of resource can cause some unattractive behaviour.
Life involves a certain amount of risk, but it feels a bit crude saying that right now. I guess a discussion like this may help us feel more in control of the situation or come to terms with tragedy, but it does get undignified when there are participants not yet out of harm's way or laid to rest, and little likelihood of similar immediate threat to anyone else.
