Police have made the first arrest of someone for sharing the video.
That's what i'm implying. For there to be high demand at this point, there needs to be a willingness to break any impending laws.
The Police can't help but once again use a tragedy to indulge their natural hard-on for authoritarianism. Now threatening people with jail time for even viewing the video. Will the same apply for 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination footage? We now have an ...
The price should be going down, as these weapons are imminently to be banned. An AR-15 is now basically worthless in this country, as the pool of potential buyers will shrink to zero. The only exception is people willing to break the law and possess ...
The "panic buying" seems to be illogical at best (if it's true). Clearly existing weapons aren't going to be grandfathered in, and it's unlikely the buyback price will leave room for profit over the retail price. Which leaves option 3, stockpiling of ...
Apart from the gun control aspect, Australia owns this atrocity as far as I'm concerned. The guy was an Australian citizen, not in the country very long, and not radicalized here. Maybe we should be considering our diplomatic relations with them especially...
Because that would be simply moronic. The best way NZ can react is by living life as we always have, not by becoming a fearful, undignified and reactive nation like the US did after 9/11.
Doesn't really matter how many guns a single person owns - people only have two hands. The number of firearms owned made no difference to the body count in Christchurch, likely the presence of an arsenal was simply related to the individual's own ...
Some interesting political dynamics to consider. Winston will be out of Parliament at the next election if he supports a simple ban on semi autos, and he knows it. Would suggest that a bipartisan approach to a revamp of legislation may work best.

But hasn't baked in another 7.5% p.a. tax free capital gain... TBH we should be aiming for a scenario where existing land makes a zero real capital gain, and total return for an investor is limited to what can be supported by cash flow or enhancements to ...
I made the point on a property forum that such behaviour is more likely to end with their lynching. TBH i've never seen such a bunch of self-entitled pricks as residential landlords - "mum and dad" or otherwise.. These guys are too unskilled to ...
Maori organisations already pay a preferential tax rate (like religious institutions) so Bridges statement wasn't exactly stretching credulity. Hopefully it sheds light on some of these obsolete exemptions.
This article is an acid trip.
Nothing wrong with being an Uncommon Man.
Nats just blew their own foot off. This will just siphon centrist voters off them without growing the pie. The flipside is that any Nat govt will have their worst impulses on transport etc restrained by this party.
It's what you pricks wanted. "Hard on Russia"...
The definition of excess wealth is the same across all people, on all incomes, and at every level of society. "Someone who has got more than twice as much as me".
Yeah, it would all get spent on pumping up the military, foolish wars and interventions around the world. Most of the Democratic candidates still want that, not sure about AOC.
I'd be wary of using income data to work out the Green's voter demographic. A good portion of their base are middle class white students and the like, not much nominal income but often very affluent and inclined to a protest vote against National-voting ...
Weird article. The Taxpayers Union are not a political party, they're a lobby group with a well known political slant. The notion of "transparency" is pretty much irrelevant.
Good reminder that women can be as vile and abusive as men. Busting the myth of innate superiority.
Funny, as this is effectively what the EU is. Yet people are lambasting Brexit quite unthinkingly. If we were led into a Union with Australia with no referendum, could you blame people for voting to leave a generation later?
It'll be a Harmful Digital Communications Act prosecution i assume.
What you've just proposed is a perfect example of the "lump of labour" fallacy.
I don't recall right wing blogs or Twitter cheering Helen Kelly's cancer diagnosis. RWNJ John Banks made a trip to Penny Bright's death bed.
A lot can happen in 2 years. You're overestimating his appeal to Republican politicians...most of them would rather be rid of him as he challenges their moronic neocon foreign policy. Fortunately for them they now have the Democrats pushing that barrow so ...
Are you saying someone leaked his medical information?
... about Slater) [Just to clarify, Brutus didn't actually read the post...
It would by definition be tyrannical, as to govern such a disparate geography from the centre, you'd need intrusive oversight of every far flung corner. The techno-fascist state that China is currently building is probably the prototype.
Why would anyone think that a global government would be benign and conduct itself in the interests of the people in general?
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
