Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy, in reply to Russell Brown,
He says Mr Dotcom is not a flight risk, although he has access to helicopters and private jets and has passports in at least three nationalities under different names ...
Tui billboard?

Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy, in reply to Juha Saarinen,
All that because of unproven allegations.
Not quite sure what you're saying here - aren't they unproven because they haven't been to Court yet, so any raid on any person/property by Police will be because of unproven allegations?

Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Hebe,
did Felicity Price or her company CPR have any input in any way into the work she will be reviewing?
possibly yes, given this:
Felicity has resigned from communications company Carter Price Rennie to carry out this independent audit.
Why the need to resign?

This could be applied to many things this year, but fortunately not the RWC Final, although the opening night almost was.

National’s “Brighter Future” is starting to sound like Muldoon’s “light at the end of the tunnel” – in the latter case it was a train coming in the other direction.

Sorry - wrong thread. It was meant for the PREFU one.

Field Theory: A moment of national significance, in reply to Steve Barnes,
For a party that not all that long ago had a mantra "Politics shouldn't interfere in sport", it seems to have changed somewhat, especially with the PM appearing at various inappropriate (imho) places - next to the ABs singing the anthem, the ABs changing room after the game...

Date: late October 1999
Where: San Mateo, CaliforniaI was on a training course in San Mateo and met a New Yorker who knew a bit about rugby – i.e. he knew who the All Blacks were and that they were playing France in the semi-final of the RWC. He also worked with a Frenchman, so gratefully accepted my offer of my All Blacks cap so he would wind him up about the forthcoming semi-final defeat.
After the course I stayed on for the weekend, and on Sunday morning (local time) I found an internet site that gave text updates of the NZ v France semi-final. I went for breakfast at half-time in the knowledge that the ABs berth in the final was assured…
I’m not sure what did happen to my cap, but I guess the Frenchman had the last laugh.

Hard News: Just don't call it "Party Central", in reply to Sacha,
And I think you’ll find the impetus behind many of the big projects coming to fruition now originated from Hubbard’s term...
Absolutely - Hubbard took a lot of flak for the Queen St upgrade, which I believe is now viewed quite favourably by many.
