Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Alfie,
could have been sorted with a little research from the Herald.
Which is why I asked Anna Samways if she could start linking to her sources.
I wait with bated breath for a reply... -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to linger,
They call it "Intelligence"

Hard News: An unacceptable failure of care, in reply to Bart Janssen,
I get that Greg O'Conner's job is to go to bat for the police but there is a point where you have to look seriously at the people you are standing behind and say "not good enough".
He is their Union boss, his job is to look after the cops, like it or not.
We should be passing our displeasure on to the commissioner. -

XKEYSCORE
Is that different keystrokes for different key folks?.

But we have to do this to stay in the "Club".
Oh... hang on...Expat Kiwi Ananda, living in the United States, tried to use a prepaid postage label to send an Easter care package, picked up by the postie, to her mum. But the US postal service no longer allows it, meaning you have to go in to the post office to send packages to New Zealand and some, er, other interesting countries. The email read: "The United States Postal Inspection Service has temporarily suspended Click-N-Ship service to the following countries: "Armenia, Belarus, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Democratic Republic of Congo, Czech Republic, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Namibia, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia-Montenegro."
Which club are we in again?.

Its not just ruminants you know, there are "far more important" culprits...
A contestant farting on the New Zealand version of The Bachelor has made headlines worldwide.
Sigh... -
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...
"Strictly off the record but.... Keep it under your military looking hat but....
'cos he's one of us.... Guvner..."
Off the record that was never kept hence the lack of communication leading to the cock-up. -

But our Minister of Police should have given the same damn speech! It is his job dammit.
I disagree, he should have said “Mea Culpa, I resign” and left it as that.
Every word he spoke sounded like an attempt at justification, there were lots of “But"s after every admission of guilt.
We should also be aware of the fact that this is the very same police area that is handling the case of a certain “Prominent New Zealander”. -

Send in the cows…

Will the over adulterated soils desiccate and decamp for points east, sand-blasting suburban and central Chchch?
We will get, just Deserts.

(I bet you grumbled about not being able to get the camel on the bottom, as it were.)
