Yep, I noticed the spin in her story. I made the mistake of reading her column for several weeks in a row - she's basically a righty, is more concerned about writing about the 'spectacle' of politics than what anyone is actually doing; is a poor analyst ...
I've left a comment on youtube regarding this video, but it has to be accepted :-) so I don't think they'll let it through. I've also flagged it as inappropriate under "mass advertising" "misleading text".
Wow. Did you point out to them that Labour in 1957-60 and 1972-75 were both one term governments? Maybe the journos simply meant we "don't get one term National governments" "It's their turn" Christ, now you've got me thinking that these journos are ...

An excellent idea. Other parallels to Freiburg are the reconstructions of historic Warsaw and Krakow aftre WWII. The Japanese too, in an equally earthquake prone country as NZ have also reconstructed many of their historic buildings, some of them several ...
