Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Hebe,
The beach track going uphill one early spring evening
That shot is enticing Hebe.
Getting back in a garden I happened to be in yesterday….. -
Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to BenWilson,
I doubt decency is Banks’ motivator. It’s more likely to be votes.
At this point in time Louisa needs his vote no matter the motivation. I am sufficiently happy he is voting in support. Until this bill passes through all readings in the house successfully, it isn't certain. It would be in the interest of the bill if everyone gobsmacked by Banks actually sent the man an email congratulating him for his support. Encouragement is still needed after today. Today is only the first vote to select committee and anything can (and has in the past) happen in select committee hearings. I'm going to email him now.

Hard News: Living with the psychopath, in reply to Sacha,
source for that?
If an offender was coming up for a release and possibly early for good behaviour, to then put that person back through a process to rejail them would render the early release useless.
That is my understanding that Judith Collin’s was suggesting on tv3 last night. To make the law retrospective would do that for some. -
Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
So Colin is in the Tom Tom Club?
Or the "Tom Cat" Club. Oh no, they got a divorce . Goss from the Herald last week, was, she's doing well, he's losing weight.

Wilson set for another sentence
As much as this guy is a problem, he would have been better off with staying in jail. What the community is planning and a new retrospective law that Judith Collins wants to introduce seems like we will get a trade off of human rights. On a day where our human rights are being addressed in a positive way along comes the mouth to say how about we throw away a Judge ordered sentence once served and give the offender another one if we don't like them.
Out will go early release for good behaviour (which is the whole point of jail), out goes any guarantee of one ever being released, and out will go any chance of reintergration or rehabilitation if the community "a la Salem , Michael Laws" wants to witch hunt. JMO
It would have been simpler to educate the public as to warn them of his appearance and his modus operandi. By knowing what he looks like and that he has a minder, I will know how to handle him if he crosses my path, he doesn't scare me in the slightest. But I certainly don't like the scaremongering that seems equivalent of what Louisa Wall is dealing with..

I was a little short on time and wanted a rest before joining Stephen Emma and Karl for a pint or three at Pomeroy’s.
I can almost hear the melancholy in your writing RB. May I say however, glad you chose Pomeroys for your pints. My friend Ava and her Mum (and partner I think) have that fine establishment. I must say, these are people that refused to shut down when it was an option or deemed necessary. Along with their many tribulations, they managed to stay open. Minus their accommodation that fell off the back of the building. And Ava ,what a trooper, (so sorry I forgot the flowers meant for her). I know this how? When I haven’t been down there? Her Dad, (t’others best mate) is so proud of her, and I get the goss on Friday nights in Auckland.
Everyone down there, Go support Ava and her Mum Victoria. :) -
Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Leigh Russell,
partly for their charm but also for their aphid hoovering capabilities.
Did some one mention lady birds?
I love this lil' one. Yes not spring, old photo, but what the hey.... -
