Just heard that Kim Hill is retiring - apart from some in depth interviews. Radio listening will never be the same. She is a real treasure. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/498069/host-kim-hill-leaves-rnz-s-saturday-morning-show-it-is-time-for-a-change-...
The issue may just be wider than just whether the now current law is reversed or not. In The Daily Blog, Martyn Bradbury helpfully lists the amendments The National Party proposed during the consideration of the bill. Without changing the underlying part ...
Good post and it was a painful interview to hear. Well done Suzie. We also need to remember that keeping Health expenditure up with inflation is not enough as it doesn't allow for rising needs from an aging population and from high levels of immigration. I...
Thanks to Gerard Otto - our leader in action.
I get somewhat cranky at the hypocrisy that seems to surround shop trading hours, and particularly on public holidays. The irony seemed to be lost on Suzie Ferguson on Morning Report this morning that she had time off, at least Friday and Monday, and ...

Not sure what Anglican Church you last went to, but they do kneel. However, there would be very few you would see holding their hands together like that. I'm still flabergasted (but shouldn't be really I suppose) at the sheer cynicism of her act in front ...
Nash's quote sounds a great justification for a capital gains tax
I seem to recall that in the early days of debate about legalisation especially in regard to medicinal cannabis that Grey Power (or a significant part of them) were strongly in favour, so this may have something to do with NZF's attitude.
The other odd thing about this, is that his wife was with him at the rugby, so what happened to her while he went off to have a beer with the boys?
Lest we forget - finally watched "Beneath the Shroud" last night. This was a sobering reminder of the extent that our so called public servants (especially politicians and the surveillance agencies) go to when supposedly protecting our best interests. ...
