Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Stephen Judd,
Nice to see we’re on the same side of a conspiracy theory for once :D
Indeed ;-)
the appointment of Shipley et al to the CERA board could have blown up too.
Yes and at inflated fees too.

Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Stephen Judd,
This is an aspect of the story that could do with some light shone on it.
I have suspicions about the story as a whole..
In today's Herald we have a Story debunking the whole thing, referring to the Israelis as USAR members and I do remember that Israel did send a team to assist in the aftermath, explaining the passports etc. Even when the story broke there was only mention of 5 passports, note nothing was said about these passports being dodgy and although it may seem a little odd that they left within 24 hours there maybe nothing dodgy about that either.
So, we have a story debunking the premise but on the same day we have David Farrar, Israel 'spygate' a test for PM, blowing it out of proportion and suggesting that the smiley one has flaws.
I have a gut feeling this story was a plant to divert us away from the greater story which is?....
I shall go digging. -

Not wishing to be a gift horse mouth looker but does the Town Hall have the same catering regime that the Civic has, ie. crap beer only?

OnPoint: Easy as 1, 2, 22.8 billion, in reply to DexterX,
The answer is again it won’t – there are no outcomes there is no CGT.
FFS, I give up. There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.

Cracker: Another Capital Idea..., in reply to Rich Lock,
I’ll happily buy drinks for my mates when they can’t pay their way, because we’re all in this together. It’s a social(ist) thing.
Wears a bit thin when they not only take it for granted but drink your last beer and call you an old fool.

Up Front: How About Now?, in reply to Jackie Clark,
I would imagine. I never said it, and here I am, till the bitter end, anyway. How the hell did that happen?
Cos you're Luverly.
