It doesnt just have to be bridges that are blocked. I seem to remember the Auckland CBD being shutdown by blockades on the day of the original TPPA signing
Ironically, the same people who will say he deserves it, will be the same ones who have been telling others for years (without proof) that he gave his PM salary to charity
From accounts I've heard from others, the write up mentioned above is a pretty good reflection of the event in Dunedin. I haven't heard anybody witnessing any members of the military amongst the security in Dunedin but there was certainly a large ...
Thanks for reminding me Fisi. Got to go shopping tomorrow so might wear my anti-tppa t-shirt. When I do I meet some really nice people who come up and say they feel the same.
Dunedin talk is 7pm at Burns Hall (next to First Church) , Moray Place.

Ian, its never too late and we all do what we can. The polies and ministries might be going on holiday soon but the summer is a great time for us to get together in our communities and talk, plan, share ideas and info. Many of us are also joining the ...
Truman - The buck stops here Key - Labour did it too
JK- Blessed are the rich, for they shall inherit the earth JK- Well I visit a lot of places and cant remember if I've been to The Eye of the Needle but what I can say, is my government is doing everything it can to eliminate any red tape that is holding up...
I suspect he's taken great delight in knowing the opposition has had to suppress the urge to call him out on it.
Agree 100% Heather. Planned, orchestrated with an added bonus of rubbing salt into the wounds of the opposition who know there are things that must remain unsaid. I too feel ashamed today.

Bennett and Tolley continue to search for their compassion
So now Labour, Greens, I don't really care who but someone get this bill right... According to the Red Cross, what is needed is not only an increase in size of our refugee quota but ALSO a change to the restrictions placed on composition of our quota. "...

Y'all needs ta chill. The truth hurts.
This made me laugh... Paul Henry vs Oscar the Grouch. One is an offensive, opinionated muppet. The other is a creation of the Childrens Television Network (and preferred viewing of the two). According to figures released by Neilson, Sesame Street out-rated...

Exactly !! Did you not notice that TPPA protests were against corporate control and govt secrecy. We weren't protesting against the US because the average US citizen is going to be hit as much as us. The US government is doing this because of those big ...
On a slightly lighter note (but still TPPA) , how about we make this our temporary national anthem ? Cut the Crap - the Gasworks Community Service Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y3kzWnw1vs
Meanwhile, the assassin sat in a hired 4wd and smiled as he fondled the ponytail that was part of his disguise. He thought of how much easier his job would be without those two troublemakers. Patiently he waited for the passing station wagon to turn the ...
Maurice; " Nick, I'm not sure this is what the PM meant when he told us to lie about the roads".
I'm surprised the flag roadshow wasn't turned into a reality programme. Each week the viewers could have voted off a contender and at the end the winning designer would get to have their flag used for the next 100yrs, free movie passes (only Warner Bros ...
Of course, its produced by Eyeworks Touchdown. Started by Julie Christie, now owned by Warner Brothers.
