The "things you can do" section is mainly rubbish. It's putting the onus on individual consumers who are almost entirely blameless and powerless in this situation. Big industry and the politicians that sop to it are responsible for this mess and they must ...
Griggs' responses were very confrontational. This seems to be the new norm for twonks. She betrays her lack of wisdom by telling Adrian she has an MA, and asking him about a shipping tradgedy which has nothing to do with the topic. I've given up on RNZ. ...
What astound me most out of all of this is the John Key said he was wrong. He admitted that he made her feel uncomfortable, she was the victim of his unwanted attention. And yet the leader of our country is just sitting back while so many others try and ...
I agree that he has become particularly bitter since the election. Which is painful to see, and definitely understandable, but for the sake of the left, and probably himself, it would be great if that bitterness could be resolved a bit before it appeared ...
Nice to see a busy weka today! :-) And I'll second the Joanna Macy. As for making a reading list... I'll throw out a few general ideas: For the science: Mark Lynas's 'Six Degrees' And maybe back that up with Spratt and Sutton's 'Climate Code Red'. To add ...
Its great to see Slater starting to turn feral on Key and English on Collins behalf. It might end up being an unpleasant 3 years for some people but the side show is shaping up to be interesting.
Its easy to stand on the sidelines and call for war when you will never actually be the one to fight on the front lines.
Slater is hardly an innocent victim receiving things that are not his and then using the information therein to publish critical stories. The difference is that Slaters wasn't even remotely in the public interest. Hagers was as it involved the tactics of ...

It does seem funny that the very first day back at work after the election that myself and all my other work mates are given new contracts to sign. Might need to do a thorough read.
There was a good turnout in Napier, about 100 people, particularly good turnout from the Mana Movement. Really good energy, so much so that, after a few speeches, we made an unplanned return march down the main street! And all with generally good responses...
I'm impressed with! Craig! If only 10% void for him, the difference to NZ would be very positive. Good sence on most things.
Probably not totally clear, because I'm not 100% what it would look like, myself. And it might well turn out to be more effort than it's worth. I suppose I imagine that a certain portion of people who come to The Standard usually just read the main ...
Hi, Just thought I'd throw in some comments from someone who has only been regularly reading blogs for a few months. Personally, I find The Standard really easy to read. And I think the 'FEEDS' links are fantastic. I started out reading The Daily Blog, but...
I am very sceptical of this anecdote. I routinely (at least once or twice a week) bike without lights through Christchurch. I have yet to be stopped, even after going through alcohol checkpoints and having police cars drive right past me. The police do ...
The article is about a Supreme Court judgement. Those "unlawful" means of obtaining evidence have previously been deemed lawful by the High Court/Court of Appeal. Just because our society (quite rightly) demands a very high standard of proof before we ...
I find this cartoon extremely offensive. Using a phrase commemorating the memory and sacrifice of those who served their country for a cheap political point is truly pathetic.
This interest in the Israelis who got caught in the Christchurch earthquake goes to show that everyone loves a good mystery. A bit more understanding of Jewish custom and Israeli social mores makes this a lot less mysterious. Many Israelis have two ...
It's nice enough I guess, but seriously, is there some huge group of swing voters who ride motorcycles or something I'm not aware of? Why does he keep prattling on about them in every interview? I dunno if somebody thinks it's a 'kiwi battler' thing to do,...
Mallard didn't 'own' anybody, all he did was to show what a typical bully he is. He likes losing his temper and getting in fights and attacking people, but a girl calls him out on the legacy of his government and he has a big sook and cry about it? He can ...
Good riddance to the most rightwing and socially conservative leader the Labour Party has ever had the misfortune of having. Hopefully this also puts an end to the reactionary crap he writes in the herald every now and then. I'd prefer Garth George to Mike...
"Labour is making inroads though, with the poll showing the party's support has risen 3.6 to 30.8 per cent." So still 3% less than on election night...so much for the success of this 'nationhood' carry-on aye..
LOL you're linking to www.prisonplanet.com in half your links! You're totally insane!
