  • Hard News: The new wave,

    Poor old Dunedin. Always the last to know.

    To the great sorrow of my husband, who is 500 metres from a beach as I type, and doubtless heading for some vantage point from which to be disappointed at the non-event.

    He's the sort who stands in an earthquake soaking in the data while everyone else is running round flapping.

  • Hard News: A Real Alternative,

    If any sees or hears Sandra Coney replying to these new accusations please can you let us know.

    I'll be more interested in hearing from Charlotte Paul, an Otago epidemiologist who has written and taught a great deal on the subject. Hers is an opinion I've learned to always respect.

  • Hard News: Where your money goes,

    Gosh Russell, you sound so reasonable. Why can't you be black or white like everyone else!

  • Hard News: A Real Alternative,

    It sounds as if the proposed closing of Aorangi school in a low decile, high immigrant area as part of the same mindset.

  • Hard News: The Short and Long of It,

    Wonderful, Deborah, my sister got failings, but it wasn't the last move.

    And I would appreciate the change, Russell, when convenience allows.

    (from my niece's tonight)

  • Hard News: The Short and Long of It,

    Brilliant Scott! Like you, I don't want to give up my miserly posting total - it's taken me at least 18 months to get to forty something.

    And sofie, sorry, but 13 pages of comments against playing killer scrabble with my sister - no contest! Besides, it's their computer, and I shouldn't hog it.

  • Hard News: The Short and Long of It,

    Dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet - I'm on holiday, haven't got time to read 13 pages - but I would like to be able to change my own login name. I'm sick of being anonymous!

  • Island Life: The Guilt of Clayton Weatherston,

    Why all the invective against Ablett-Kerr? Her job is to give the most effective legal defence that she can for her client. As Dr Sam Johnson pointed out somewhere, it is not the defence lawyer's brief, but that of the judge and jury to judge the guilt or otherwise of the client.

    Many years ago my husband served on a jury in a case for which Ablett-Kerr was defence witness, and apparently their perception of the accused's very obvious guilt was accelerated enormously by her (then) LA Law type grandstanding. He's never been able to stand her since.

    I think it's a shame she didn't act for Bain, as she was mooted to do once.
