Speaker: TPP: Nearing Endgame, in reply to George Darroch,
I'd say that it has more to do with the political culture of the people in the two main parties and their affinities and allegiances and ideas, than it has to do with anything else.
Well and the fact that AU and US have a FTA already in place. And from what I understand the TPP is largely similar to that FTA

oops! I left editing notes in the document, fixing now!

First concert avec parents was Elton John at Mt Smart in the early 90s so I must've been 11 or 12
First concert sans parents was REM at Western Springs on their Monster Tour. I was 16. The openers were Grant Lee Buffalo and Crowded House.
I went to that concert with a friend and his older brother who insisted we sit(!) at the back so we could use his binoculars to see the stage. I was heavily disappointed. The mosh pit looked so damn inviting too!
Crowded House got people to make human pyramids and stopped mid-song to point out a particularly tall one. And in between Crowded House and REM (wherein a certain demographic of the audience left) a security guy got on the mic and told some lout to stop "punching kids". Then he pointed directly at someone, yelled something and dove off the stage to tackle the offender.
Good times (as seen from afar).

I did enjoy the US press briefing which rather downplayed John Key's role:
Secretary Kerry served as the head of – took the President’s place and played a very important role in the meeting both in terms of presenting the U.S. perspective but also in helping to lead the discussion with Prime Minister Key of New Zealand. New Zealand serves as the secretariat, so to speak, of TPP, and so he played that role accordingly.

Field Theory: The Final, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
The orange and yellow swap pretty much everywhere as well (even on the logo!), and it picks up some colour down the neck that isn't on the black one.
Goddamn! I can't believe I did that

Be careful with the "we". Last time I looked Waikato shared that Super 15 trophy with a few other provinces (including the "Mighty" BOP)

Oooo ! Can we have half time scores as well ?
I dunno, would that skew later voting?

I did think about how these match ups would actually make a bloody fun tournament
