Hard News: The Real Threat, in reply to Keir Leslie,
Sir Geoffrey Palmer said on air today that he wanted it to be 'OIA-able' but was defeated by Cabinet.
Listen here (mp3) -
a minor cavil...
Memo to radio & print journalists and some politicians:
Please note it is correctly the Parliamentary Service
not Parliamentary Services - a technicality perhaps
but important legal cases can be lost on details and technicalities.Accuracy and attention to detail are important for both
journalists and politicians, not just lawyers and accountants.Its creator Sir Geoffrey Palmer always gets it right!

Excellent words, thank you Judith.
Pegasus Health in Chchch offers an excellent Mental Health GP Liaison service, offering 5 sessions of free psych support over a 12 month period with a GP referral.
Perhaps someone should tell Sovereign that this health provider says:In any one year around 20 percent of the community will have a mental health problem. Not all will seek help, nor do they probably need to. However, in the event that they do seek help, most people will do so from their general practice team because mental health and physical health are inextricably linked.
And to my way of thinking, it is a wetware/software issue - talking is the main way to access mental programming - talk is code...
I'm sure the medication may help case by case, but better yet in tandem with some information, instruction or insight...To indulge in a little metaphor play:

...and what will happen when the TPPA gets forced through?
How would we know?
Who will tell us?
But I'm betting the US will want very favourable access...
...voila, a sudden influx of cashed-up Americans,
heading west, looking for something like a democracy?
(or a haven for economic exiles..) -
more defied and mortified or mortar fight?
That wasn’t the issue. The issue here is that he had embarrassed defence command.
And what a fine adult reaction they had, too!
I hate to think what they'd do if you offended, or even really pissed them off ...

Hard News: The Real Threat, in reply to The Ruminator,
trees company...
...that tree is going to be getting Tane Mahuta sized pretty quickly...
...and thus, quietly that fine July day, the seeds of what is now The Arbour Party were broadcast.
Rooting well, and deep, in adverse conditions, the global-reign forest grew unnoticed for the trees, until their branches were everywhere, divergent, expansive, creating a canopy for all life to co-exist within...</man can dream, can't he?>

Hard News: Community standards, in reply to Ross Mason,
Buy polar?
Nope. Just swallowed a magnet and now, no matter which way they turn, their compass points up their arse.
Aaaah! that explains why we have 'pole-ing booths'...

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Just thinking,
one of those new areas where everything looks good, but isn’t.
...here's another! More flawed Council approval processes...
