Mike's modus operandi seems to be reductio ad absurdum; when crossed he announces Arderna delenda est, which is rapidly challenged by Barrius Soperus, causing Horatio Hoskus to shout 'O Me Miserum!' as he burns his last bridge, on which is engraved Caveat ...

With the economic waves about to crest real high next year, the PM needs to do everything she can to strengthen this little sovereign vessel. Our little sovereign vessel may be safe in the harbour, but that's not what ships are for.
Me too - and what would stop local governments from setting an example? Wairarapa where I live has four district councils that already work together on some issues. Any region has a community of interests. Every region is concerned about solar power and ...
