Centre-right
Can we stop using centre like that. Children might pick up bad habits.

Thanks. Interesting.

Hard News: Making it up on smacking, in reply to simon g,
it would be nice if they could tell us before the election
A phrase we'll hear more of in this year of desperate horsetrading. Charter schools, anyone?

Hard News: Making it up on smacking, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Yet again, Russell does more basic fact checking in his home office than the alleged news outlets put together.
I don't know about anyone else, but this shit is getting tedious.
Yes, and I laugh whenever I hear large media organisations claim that their professionalism is why they deserve legal protections that don't apply to those feelthy bloggers.

Hard News: Making it up on smacking, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
a child assault case, not a smacking case
Let's stop calling what that law change was tackling 'smacking' shall we. That's lazily repeating the spin of its opponents. Thrashing children with hunks of timber and suchlike is not a 'smack'. It has always been child assault.

And here's something the Council is responsible for, not Auckland Transport:
"We can't just keep talking about solving our core transport projects - we need action," said Mr Barnett.
His comments come more than three years after Mayor Len Brown promised to investigate safer cycling for CBD streets.
But it took new councillor Chris Darby to persuade the council last month to add a request for greater priority for pedestrians and cyclists to a letter of expectation sent last month to Auckland Transport chairman Lester Levy.
Mr Darby, a cyclist, told the Herald after last week's fatality that the council transport body's $10.3 million walking and cycling budget for this financial year was "petty cash compared to what is required".
"It pales against the investments going into a very car-centric transportation plan," he said.

Hard News: Lowering the Stakes, in reply to Christopher Dempsey,
This part of Beach Rd is my usual route home and the surface here is pretty awful.
Might be worth asking for an official report from AT about what maintenance levels they're applying to such a truck-heavy part of the network.

From that article about the Chamber of Commerce favouring sorting out Stanley St because it benefits trucks, NZ Herald journo Martin Johnston stars in a 5 min clip about being a commuter cyclist, including some interesting head-cam shots.
