Did... you even read your links? There's a huge difference between 'some accidental deaths' and 'exterminating'. Other than the infamous run of bad luck/poor bait design in the 1970s (40 years ago), there were '5' in 2013, 11 somewhere else... do you have ...
See, I get the whole 'poisons bad!?!' panic, but the trouble with ruling out 1080 is that it *actually works* NZ is the only country in the world that can get away with liberally using it because the majority impact is on mammals - so overseas studies on ...
If it's only 5% and 4 you could see coming, what exactly is the problem? You're acting like it's most employees and causing a massive problem.
Or John Key's own comments on the topic. National's been busy agitating the 'haha even the Greens want to betray Labour!' angle since the news broke. If I had to hazard a guess as to where the whole mess came from... oh, who am I kidding. Labour sulks ...
Shh! Enough with your wild Reasonability Theories!
In this case, I agree with the sentiment, but not the specifics. - This achieved something of a chunk of people who a) supported Red Peak on it's own merits (not a lot, but a LOT more than for any of the previous options) and b) supported having "anything ...
It's a nice metaphor, though.
Green Party - Excellent ideas and multiple rational policies until suddenly they do something someone random disagrees with then suddenly they're all irrational, and can't possibly just be coming at something from another angle or have more (or less) ...
Probably because they had exactly zero chance of getting that implemented. Or if they supported it, that's not something that translates into meaningful action so it's actually irrelevant to whether they ALSO attempt to take any action. They had the option...
So, basically, you're saying they should have sacrificed policy for politicking? While it's sometimes necessary, it's not actually a good thing to prioritise. As a rule, the Greens take action in order to achieve things, rather than spend energy trying to ...
To quote myself: " fairly harmless and freedom of whatever related"... Basically, including Red Peak. It's mostly harmless and improves freedom of choice. It's not really worth much more analysis than that. It's also shifted the 'story' of the flag change....
My mistake. Nobody anywhere liked it because it actually tried to have a story or rallied round it as a protest symbol or proposed it as an example of what the options could have been like or discussed in depth why it had meaning and resonance to lots of ...
I am sorry for bringing the flag into it again, by the way - it just illustrated the point so perfectly. Everyone's shouting about the political ramifications, nobody (at least, nobody who's all worked up and commenting!) really stopped and considered that...
It seems fairly obvious to me (but then I'm a Green voter, so I don't have to run some kind of cross party translation filter). The Flag referendum is happening. The process was bad and the choices sucked. There was a particular design that had gained VERY...

Um, 2 seconds Googling shows that a number of sites claim those additives ARE banned in the places named. (I didn't check every single one, but enough came up that I consider the whole comment above suspect). From a bit more research, it looks like a lot ...

That came right at the end of the protest, not the beginning. They surrounded the police station because the police had already arrested 43 people, and they were demanding their release. The people who surrounded the station were for the most part not the ...
...who all looked like they need new clothes, a shower and a makeover. Wait, so you think they have cause to protest not having decent livable allowances, then? New clothes, hot water and... a makeover? Seriously? Those all cost money. If your objection is...
