Dunne just pulled his support for the bill.

Now here's an unexpected opinion from a Sensible Sentencing ancillary:

And thank you, Keith. Welcome back.
As it happens, I had a long holiday that finished the other week.
I visited Scandinavia. While I was in Europe I passed through Brussels itself. I spent couple of nights in Singapore.
I come home and some people are comparing this to Zimbabwe and Pakistan.
I mean, we can talk about if it's a bad law, but it gets difficult.
Personally, I think we will still have our freedoms, but some of us seem to have already lost our perspectives.

I think I remember Jim Flynn on the radio pointing out that understanding how people feel and caring about it are two different things. Your clever psychopaths find there is more mileage in manipulating people psychologically rather than physically.
Also, while I've only just scanned the proceeding of the society to this point, it might help to consider that saying something motivates us to make moral judgements isn't the same as saying that's what they mean in a logical or semantic way. The psychology of ethics is different to the philosophy.

I wonder what people believe is in this " insecticide"
I'm afraid that's commercially sensitive.
The formulation of Foray 48B is highly confidential and the supplier of the product is not willing to have the details disclosed...
However, MAF and the supplier do recognise there is strong public interest in the formulation of Foray 48B. The full list of ingredients has been made available to relevant regulatory agencies as well as to several other government agencies ... General information on the ingredients has also been communicated widely to the public.
Looking around, the 'general information' is BTK, growth medium (which, when asked, the govt said as far as they knew was not GE), and a quantity of 'inert' or 'non-toxic' stuff.
Given all the players now seem to agree people had actual reactions, one wonders.

Was it on television somewhere (Fair Go?) where they pointed out what you found if you pulled apart Suzanne Paul's massage pillow?

... Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman (and new National Party candidate for Wigram) Marc Alexander.
That would be former Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman Marc Alexander.

The class might find it instructive to compare the 'average'/'very average' judgement - which had a far wider currency than sport commentators when I was yoof - to 'mediocre', both in terms of meaning and derivation.
It might provide hope to people who think of NZ as a nation of tall-poppy-lopping sheep that we seem to have a disparaging view of the statistically ordinary.
