The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

Herald headline tonight: 'Our species is under attack': Opposition parties react to alert level announcement.'
If the attack on the species wreaks havoc does that mean there'll be a devastation of arseholes?
That headline was cheap and deliberately misleading. Whoever came up with it should be hauled over the coals by all and sundry. The "Our species is under attack" headline were the words of David Seymour and he was actually referring to the virus.
Mind you imho he’s a first class twat.

It's people like David Seymour who are taking the hum out of human.
TV1 news had pretty sensible acceptance from the few people interviewed. I was expecting the opposite so was pleasantly surprised.
Jacinda as she always does, presented so well at 3pm. Takes control, but with grace and style.
Mustve been the ones RNZ rejected….something of a moan-fest there
I think it was pretty indicative of what was expected by those in Auckland and most were accepting of the position, we are nearly there, lets err on the side of caution, for every ones sake.
It was similar over on Newshub – surprise, surprise and Tova was pretty muted with her report as well.
Hi lprent, page loads taking about 1 minute; can’t reply to comments from my mobile device.
Not a DDOS I hope?
Nope – not sure what it is. Slowly digging into the problem.
Appreciated lprent!
All improving slowly. I nominate lprent as hero of worth.
Think continuing with level 3 for ak and 2 elsewhere absolutely the right thing to do. So much pressure on the govt to move sooner, so very brave……Jacinda is perfection in the way she communicates.
Thank god we have a brave strong leader who does the right thing
Dr Elana Curtis from Te Roopu Whakakaupapa Uruta
Remember the name of this group, it has started an unreasonable demand for personal autonomy at a time when nobody should be getting special treatment, even Gerry Brownlee. Shocking all right.

It is people like "Dr Elana Curtis" who give their cause a bad name. If she is a doctor of medicine then she should know better!
The current cluster had the potential to become huge due to the life style of the Pacific people. By that I mean they like to congregate in large groups… be it in a church or recreational activity. It was imperative they get it under control in the fastest time possible.
It is about saving lives Dr Curtis – saving the lives of our Pacific Island citizens.
Edit: What is more: their leaders are very grateful that the government has taken these steps.
Iprent curious effect. Under "Replies" many comments but none are mine just a random set of names and comment links.
Like this:
EDIT: And now I have no replies on my reply tab at all.
For a while I was lprent in the Replies. Mwaa-hahahaha – omnipotence is mine! But then I omnipotented into the void, I had no replies at all. Back to normal now, adventures are over. *sigh*
Should be fixed now. I turned on a object caching model. Had to change the name from ‘widget’ group to ‘recent_replies’ so that I could exclude that particular cached object.
Maybe not. Now I'm Bruce. Not Bruce Almighty, sadly.
Aaaand back into the void of nothingness …
Finally found the incorrect group that was causing the issue. Now fixed.
They are replies to your other login Draco, e.g Patricia 2. Be more careful not to self dox in future.
I lucked out my other login was Andre (so much winding people up, so little internet comment time).
