Nothing does gravel like a Holden but, especially the White Whale, she’d just gracefully loll round the corners if you set her right. We had Falcon utes, similar, that 2nd gear was the go all gear. Those cars were designed for us, Ozzies first but well, you know.

Shot this photo of a photo, happy accident.

The Great White Whale's wheel, note the cassette deck. Of course you go out and photograph your beloved, my friend (Mr. Paste) took this shot. 3 on the tree, 2nd would stick but I knew what to do. Not flash but where I used to take my cars, this one was purpose built, indestructible and I could sleep on the bench seat. I have a full photo of it, but I am in it and no one wants that.

This is what a VW (1302S, not mine, hers) and Falcon SW were meant to do. Sorry it’s out of focus I was amped (Hotwater 2-3ft and offshore – yew), and Sophie you know that young woman there in my jumper, c.1981.

I just don't know what these people stand for aside from wanting to win the leadership and I don't think that's entirely my fault.

The shocking crash in the number of people voting isn't a sign that they're all stoked about how things are right now. Many of them simply feel politics isn't the answer. Watching Labour pick it's leadership has me agreeing with them.
I agree, it's been shallow and callous and glibly reported as such.

OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Paul Williams,
What I was trying to allude to, poorly I admit, is that these articles are highly emotionally charged speculative gestures that I see frequently in the media here and find, quite frankly, a little weird.
I have lived in other places, English and non-English speaking for lengthy periods, also worked in the advertising industry, NZ is quite unique in it's framing of political articles.
May be geography, maybe population size, it's just a feeling I get.
Oh and Gio I strongly agree, the 3 year circus is actually sickening. -

I see it as a natural position, maybe not conscious, yet I notice the framing is always the same.
