My thanks also, James, for your thoughtful insight and understanding - and very clear expression of the situation many biological females such as myself find ourselves in. IMO your third para is of particular relevance.
Done - both Greenpeace and Forest and Bird. Haven't had time etc to do my own but added an extra to the Greenpeace one. weka - totally agree with your comments at 7.1. What they want is for people to give up and not exercise their democratic rights to make...

Oops! Thanks for that. I should have checked further, knowing that Helen C's hubbie is a sociologist! I appreciate many of your posts here, joe90.
Presumably this one, weka - not Helen Clark's husband of the same name, lol. https://twitter.com/PeterByardDavis Thanks so much for all your work and input into the major (definitely NOT fringe) issue of maintaining and protecting women's hard fought for ...
Molly - you and others may be interested that Doucey's work with Tavistock has been/is under discussion in the last 24 hours on "X" aka Twitter under a post by Stephen Franks (weka's tweet posted in her comment above is in this thread:) https://twitter.com...
It will be "interesting" LOL; and today he will not have Winston Peters sitting next to him propping him up and/or raising/causing diversions. I wonder who they will have in Winny's seat ...
Where are your link(s) to substantiate your two claims: "People are now claiming that the FSU is part of Atlas" and "despite people like Matt McCarten being involved"
LOL - if you had checked the wikipedia link I provided, you would have read: "This species is attacked by parasitic wasps (Cryptocheilus australis and Sphictostethus nitidus, family Pompiliidae) ..."
Maaori were also probably well aware of Dolomedes III - aka Dolomedes dondalai "Dolomedes dondalei is a species of large fishing spider endemic to the main islands of New Zealand. It (this species): is a nocturnal hunter grows up to 7 cm across, including ...
Sadly it doesn't fit in any way with what Reti said on 28 February - his speech was just a bunch of weasel words imo. These cutbacks in providing free vaccinations to these two high vulnerable groups certainly do not constitute "identifying need and ...
Adrian - and Alwyn The free flu vaccines are no longer available to children under 12 years of age as you say, Adrian. But the change in respect of Maori and Pacific Islanders is that free vaccinations are now no longer available to those aged 55 - 64 ...

I wonder how much of the $95,000 spent to date since "Christopher Luxon came to power" was to enable Luxon and his 25 family members to use Premier House for several days for their 2023 Christmas bash? Although it has been reported that "Luxon covered all ...
MS - you might want to also correct your reference in the last para of the post from "Government House" to "Premier House". Government House is the official residence for the Governor General, not the PM. Cheers.
Thanks for putting up these two links to some of Luke Fitzmaurice-Brown's posts over the last week or so. I would highly recommend people read all of them to get the full picture. They are short and easy reads. This link provides the full series: https://...
Ooops, my comment at 7 was meant to be a reply to this comment.
Well put, Darien. As a former Wellington public servant, I spent a lot of time in the Parliamentary precinct over many years. The number of people going in and out of the precinct daily via the main non-swipe card access and security check process was - ...
It certainly seems to be the same - ie "our"! -David Seymour as the reference in the Atlas Year in Review 2008 linked to in Tiger Mountain's comment at 3 to "David Seymour (Frontier Centre for Public Policy, Canada)" aligns with the Wikipedia entry for "...

I agree that the whole thing is very complex with so many different factors and views etc. I had to go out yesterday but spent the night watching yesterday’s GAC Subcommittee A submissions and half the Subcommittee B ones – what else is there to do between...

RNZ have a number of reports on this case which include very specific details of this man's movements, contacts with police, other prisoners and Corrections staff as well as the protocols used by Corrections at Mt Eden. This one in particular is useful in ...
I am not going to get into the ins and outs above re which language version of the TOW takes precedence other than to point people to the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigeneous Peoples in relation to this issue. Below is a link to a Q & A on the TOW ...
Good choice, Sabine! And Grey seems to have missed that you do take days (or longer) off from time to time, including just two days ago - on Sunday May 2. LOL https://thestandard.org.nz/search/%40author+%22Sabine%22/page/2/?search_comments=true&search_...
Are you suggesting that Sabine @ 1.1 and others above are "incorrect" when suggesting that the distribution of wild venison to food banks etc last year did not happen? Perhaps you should check your facts before hitting your keyboard. Here is a generic ...
Here it is - I watched about 15 minutes of it over someones shoulder yesterday on a computer screen. The technology was impressive – and fundamentally not the applicable to anything apart from racing. For instance I can't see any way to scale up the ...
