Good news (patron) on top of good news (gong)!
So very well deserved.
Please keep doing what you do.

My guess is Bill English will wrap a lot of this up with terms like “social investment"
My guess is every National MP and paid and unpaid mouthpiece from here to oblivion will crow about it so loudly that semantic analyses of what you call it will wither and die along with the opposition's vote, despite the country being on its beam ends, fiercely ablaze in a sea of gasoline.
Labour and Greens need to stop reading headlines, and start writing them.

animated ... boring, racist, taxi drivers
West Auckland does a really special line in precisely this.
Has taxi driving ever been well paid since deregulation in the late 1980s?

Bill Sevesi died
Oh, that's really sad! And the fact I didn't know before now tells me I'm working too hard.
I just spent fully 5 minutes staring out my window thinking of tons of stuff that all somehow sheets back to Bill.

Hard News: Friday Music: Digging in New York, in reply to Russell Brown,
I had to go to a bar
Well, it was an emergency, after all. I'd have done exactly the same thing.

Sure, Willie over does it But it always seems odd to me that there's no Maori host on any of the main RNZ shows. I love Wal, Suzie, Bryan, John, Jim, Kim and all the rest of them. Just that all the brown voices tend to be specialists covering brown stories. Why no Maori anchor? The more I think about it, the weirder it feels.

Polity: The Taxpayers' Union rides again!, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Not as preposterous
But preposterous, nonetheless. When was the last discussion of UBI in the NZ media?

Hard News: UMR: Medpot and the public, in reply to Russell Brown,
Legal pot in Colorado
Notwithstanding the positives, wasn't there a scenario in which commercial interests run marketing campaigns that basically align pot with booze, which not only thrives on addiction, but addiction among youngsters?
Can't see myself voting for that in a hurry.

I liked Ross Bell of the Drug Foundation on Morning Report (I think) yesterday. The argument that the more harmful the drug, the stronger the need for health assistance to the user, the stronger the argument for decriminalisation (or legalisation) so that the best help can be got to the right people.
