That is a decision by the Maunga authority and they are planting many more native trees than the number of trees that are being felled. And it is not a Labour dominated Council.

Air New Zealand have put their hands up about the plane trouble and said it is all their fault. I was in China a couple of years ago. The authorities decided to close down airspace for a couple of days and all flights were cancelled. No reason was given. I...

It is not. It is just that currently attacking National is like shooting fish in a barrel. And you will note that MPs have been very quiet over National's problems. And just to confirm this site and the authors do not receive instructions or suggestions ...
To show that diversity of opinion is alive and well among authors let me say that in my personal opinion I think there is justifiable reason to be very afraid about Chinese activities, although I have respect for the environmental steps that the PRC is ...

Andrew Geddis in typical form nails it with this description of the background: "Let’s just pause and recap at this point. The police admit that they misled a court by omission into giving them apparent legal authority to raid the house of not a suspect in...
Apologies everyone. Authors were all busy today and had no time for posts. Normal transmission will be resumed tomorrow. We are always on the lookout for guest posts. If you feel the urge drop us a line with a post.
Major screaps amongst three of the authors with authors purporting to ban authors and really awful moderation. A lot of it happened in the back end. Something I was trying to forget ...

Sounds like Ngaro was forced to give the grovelling apology ... From Lloyd Burr at Newshub: Alfred Ngaro's threat that non-government organisations shouldn't bite the hand that feeds is extraordinary. Not just because of his complete lack of judgement, or ...

There were 110 posts in 2016 tagged "climate change" alone. The environment attracts a lot of author attention. What is most popular is a bit more random and tends to be related to breaking news which environmental devastation isn't. The most popular post ...
Hi RL I had a go at describing the difference in an earlier post (https://thestandard.org.nz/tino-rangatiratanga/) The post included this passage from a Waitangi Tribunal decision: We have concluded that in February 1840 the rangatira who signed te Tiriti ...

Thanks Marty. It is interesting where blogging is heading to. TS is nearly eight years old and many authors have come and gone. My sense is that the overall number of political bloggers and blogs is declining which is unfortunate because the demand to read...
It is a really difficult issue Weka and one that authors have discussed on a number of occasions. I am more than happy to put up others thoughts as part of one of my posts. But I lose the subtlety and the intricacy of what they are saying. Morgan Godfrey ...
