also what was the margin or error in Labour's stats?
or was there assumed to be no errors -
After their first 29 posts in 1 day i think we can safely assume someone here is not participating with the goal of balanced discussion. This is a topic and issue worthy of great debating. lets do that and ignore the troll in the corner till it fades away.

What i don't understand is why nobody actually questioned - beyond all the stats, was this a morally and ethically ok thing, nobody questioned whether or not this might be considered deeply racist.
it is totally possible to have a discussion about people who are not resident New Zealanders purchasing houses without making it a race fueled argument. I live in NZ i have a teeny tiny house with my Mum, I love it, I am far from surprised loads people (some of whom are not allowed to own property in their own country) visit here and want to buy a house of their own. Because it's the free Market Baby they can do it.
Currently there is not enough data on this, as to who is buying & why. There are assumptions but no cold hard facts based on data. So labour decided to grab some 'leaked data' not even a whole data set but some leaked data, throw some assumptions at it to come up with a final assumption. Nobody questioned whether or not this tower of shit stuck on shit was a shitty thing to do. But because of this towering pile of shitty assumptions we are even less likely to even start gathering actual data on property buyers.
of course what will talkback radio did if we lived on facts

As anyone who is addicted to TV knows, TVNZ on demand is how you watch the direct from the US episodes of all the shows. No VPN, no global mode, no US itunes account, no netflicks account just the shows now, sure you need to watch them straight away but that's the whole point anyway.
So this is where the TV junkies are at, just wish i could sign in with facebook, it's how i agree to all sorts of mindless forms.

I watch 2-3 times a week normally on +1 so we watch over dinner. When there is something buzzy i'll watch on demand
Post Christchurch it was destination TV
can i ask what's with Greenpeace running a petition site? Isn't it a bit like signing a petition organised by a political party, in that you also advance the other causes/ agenda's of that organisation? Part of what appeals to me about action station is that it's free of all that. maybe a thought for another time

How about Chris Gayle (arguably one of the best batsmen his generation) shaking
Guptil's hand & welcoming him to the 200 club while his team was loosing the Wellington quarter final.These are the moments fans love about cricket, and often the players we remember most. As my Dad would say 'Gentlemen Cricketers'.

Hard News: An unacceptable failure of care, in reply to Joe Wylie,
They jump in hobnail boots and all when its not required
Amen. Lest we forget the persecution of the alleged Christchurch light bulb looter, whose name I won’t invoke out of respect for his presumed desire for privacy.

victims of the police -
So Bad, that the law exists to protect people but the police don't know it or choose not to enforce it.
Even Worse the only consequences for police officers involved is that report will be included in their annual review,All today did was illustrate why victims of assault choose never to report it to the police and promised institutional change never happens
I hate that i feel like this,
