  • Hard News: Here's one I prepared earlier,

    Yes I had backbenchers on in the background as I potted about the other night and Calverts even more barking than normal perfomance stopped me in my tracks!
    I was gobsmaked at just how appalingly thick that statement was.
    She is NZ's answer to Palin. :-(

  • Hard News: People Take Drugs, in reply to James Butler,

    Maybe the Police could piggy-back on the Air Force's helicopter training runs?

    Good luck on getting that one past Parliamentary services..... They take a dim view of anyone trying to borrow the pm's limo.

  • Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Meanwhile, Don Brash's open letter to John key might be the most socially divisive rant I've ever seen from a New Zealand political leader. Winston Peters included.

    It's bizarre.

    I refer you to item 6.......

  • Hard News: What Now?,

    At the end of the day I can't help but think that true to the NZ way, Christchurch will be rebuilt in the classic NZ style of "Leaky". :o(
    Developers will almost always go for the cheapest option to then flog off as the perfect property.


    I'm also expecting National to use this as an excuse to accelerate welfare reform/cuts as "We need to save money to pay for Christchurch"..... i am wondering if the EQC insurance scheme will also become a target?

  • Hard News: Hobbit Wars,

    I do wonder how much of this titanic Vs perfect storm in a teacup is due to just the Aussies trying to knoble a rival countrys industry for commercial advantage; and if the US actors union which has hated on the Kiwi film industry for years (ever since LOTR filming was started) is also involved in behind the scenes?

  • Voting Local 2010,

    Well if you won't stand Islander how about talking Lynda just down the road into it. ;o)

    If she could tolerate enough of the bullshit involved she would be pretty good IMHO.

  • Hard News: The best blogger there never was,

    I don't spend much time following Slater, so maybe I've missed it, but I don't get any sense that he understands his behaviour is any way unacceptable. I also wonder if some of his "friends" are egging him on?

    I had to laugh at the coverage on TVNZ's news this evening where Slater stated that "As anyone who reads my blog knows, I can't stand hypocrisy" lol
