@chris +1. I swore into my cornflakes reading that piece this morning.
All the best Marty. Kia kaha
@Millsy :) :) :)
@Keepcalmcarry on - it was hilarious! Made my night, Enjoyed it muchly
Yes @Cinny all the teachers in my FB feed are ecstatic. Speaks volumes eh? And I"m so pleased for them - they are at the coalface and they have seen it all firsthand. As a mum, and a stepmum of a dyslexic child, I'm stoked too!
ok I take it back. Nice @James.
@cleangreen - love it!! Yes, where's all that smug "I know best" from James now eh?! Kia ora bro
I'm so freaking happy right now. That is all.....!
:) :) :) Patricia
@sam green - I read that yesterday and as a health lawyer (and a caring human!) was totally shocked!!!! Where did things get to? Did someone call the guy out on the breach? It was totally appalling
Thanks @Reason, I read that with tears. Kia kaha
+1 EcoMaori! Don't soil yourself....! :)
Yep, disgusting.
@Tracey, agreed. Often an unsuccessful strike out does trigger a settlement by a plaintiff but in this case, the stakes would be high for the defendants for the reasons you mention! Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people eh....!
@tracey yes that's exactly right. The statement of claim is taken as if true and the merits are then evaluated on that basis for strike out. The actual facts don't need to be proven by the plaintiff until trial. The exception to this is if the statement of...
@lprent - this is my take as well. Although the first option won't have the immediacy of fixing stuff for the most vulnerable that the second option might be able to quickly achieve in some areas, it will drag National back to the Centre and Winston will ...
Me too @Martymars. Hope Palmer J keeps on the case as well after the strike out. Very fair and very intelligent man
Some of the more rabid and unhinged of your ilk Alwyn....https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2017/10/data_entry_error_is_not_good_enough.html#comments
The first one - an insight into urban life in Syria after Isis...horrifying the other one - will let you know! She usually writes about young West Indian women living in London.
OMG like picking a scab I just had my daily look at the Sewer. Leading the billshit today is a post criticising Guy Williams' tweet about John Armstrong (which Williams has subsequently apologised for). Farrar rants indignantly about people focussing on ...

I'm currently working my way through this year's Booker LongList which is a little indulgence I reserve to myself every year. Just finished Mohsin Hasad "Exit West." Horrifying, gripping and very well written. Onto Zadie Smith "Swing Time" this weekend - ...
yes @lprent on my iPhone
@Cinny - agreed! I am enjoying that aspect of it too
@Cinny - +1 - Dunne should just go back into his box.....! The ego of that man knows no bounds.
@SpaceMonkey - ok, must have been the lack of coffee then ;) I just hope it's the lack of ego factor driving people to make such comments, rather than any insinuation about her gender, age or relative lack of experience - those things push my sensitive wee...
Did anyone else hear the item on Morning Report (I just heard it on the 7 am news) where there was some discussion talked about in which Tuariki John Delamere is said to have stated that "if Jacinda offers Winston the shared PM" she will probably get a ...
+1 Barfly
@Karen - tautoko
Not another election I don't think @Cinny. I think it would be vote by vote legislation, with the potential for any one Bill (pardon the pun!) to bring the government down. i.e. minority Govt with NZ First C&S. But I could be mistaken.
Agreed @Sanctuary
