Garrett-watchers may be interested in his rather dotty behaviour in this thread: http://publicaddress.net/system/topic,1671,legal_beagle_three_strikes.sm Graeme Edgeler kicks off with a thoughtful post summarising his concerns about the three strikes law: ...
Whoops. I was about to complain about my comment being deleted. But now it's back! How odd ... [lprent: Just the usual caching problems would be my bet.]
Many of the rioter in Athens know exactly what they want. They are anarchists. You don't fly a red and black flag without knowing what it's all about - an end to capitalsim and all illegitimate authority, ie complete emancipation of humanity. But who will...
She may have breached the law, but I would submit that it would be a spectacularly messy prosecution to bring. The police really would not want it.
Thanks Lynn -- very interesting. The use of Alexa numbers makes a nonsense of these rankings, but you risk looking churlish if you say so. Public Address peaked in the week of the two elections in November; 153,515 impressions from Nov 5 to 11 -- nearly ...
It would be nice to see a proper liberal left party, rather than the current labour and greens, which both want to control various aspects of ones lives. And here's me thinking it would be nice to see a proper liberal right party ;-)
I also noticed what looked like a lot of relief for Clark, as it appeared a massive weight was off her shoulders. Time for a much deserved break I think. I hope that she does well on the international stage, as although I disagreed with a lot of her ...
According to Bill it was Muldoon who created an "unsupportable' super scheme as an election bribe in 1975. Um, that's true. Of course anyone who remembers the situation (as Bill certainly should) knows full well that the real story was big Norm's ...
The point here is that Power is attacking Labour's performance on the one measure by which New Zealand's performance is stellar -- support for the victims of crime. The International Crime Victims survey published in April this year rated New Zealand first...
More interesting is the fact that Grant has a poodle who basically takes a video camera to eery meeting waiting for any comment from Stephen which can then be used to take anything he says is jest or otherwise right out of context. No, he doesn't. That's ...
But it is an incredible error. Hard to believe it could be accidental but it also stretches crediblity to think they would do something so elaborate and risky as to purposely put a grammar error in a billboard to elicit mocking and then turn that into ‘...

There's no wrongdoing here perfectly legal and common practice among parties. Oh, and the rich scent of Peters' hypocrisy too, of course. I get the impression Clark is over all this: hence her apparent acceptance that nothing illegal has been done -- ...
Do you honestly think that is why people are outraged about these allegations? To be fair, not everyone's outraged. A couple of the Kiwiblog regulars reckon she might have deserved it ... But seriously, yes, I think that campaign may have helped focus ...
Speaking as someone who was asked to be involved in the "It's Not Okay" campaign, I've been impressed by it. The commission had the relevant agencies all on the same page, and also secured funding for the expected increase in caseload for the likes of ...
Prediction: My pick is still "the real issue here is why Helen Clark is so obsessed with who I get advice from when hardworking Kiwis are suffering from 9 years of overtaxation' Observation (Morning Report today): "Labour is obsessed with who gives advice ...
The aim to build a better broadband infrastructure isn't the problem with National's plan. The problem is the absence of detail and the frankly wild claims being made. Remember, the pitch at launch time was that 75% of New Zealanders would have fibre to ...
Structurally HNZ is broken, 8,000 on waiting list and they are not managing tenants effectively, they coudn't even evict the Salt family in Mt Albert. They manage 200,000 properties. In that context an 8000 waiting list doesn't seem quite such an issue. ...
Stalker, ha thats funny. Have lived next door to them for some time, what i am getting at is that they should be in a private rental (with help from winz if needed) and the house with nice garden etc would be better in the hands of a young family in need. ...

My apologies to you and your partner was never my intention to be taken that way. I didn't take it that way. No problem.
um, I think it was Russel Browns Partner who made the quip. Let me assure you, she has her own opinions ...
I just had another read of your comment. Are you also saying the journalist chapel at the Herald writes the standard? What a strange accusation. Precisely. I write the Standard, usually after a few drinks. Didn't everybody know? [lprent: are you sure? I ...
Now Wnston's stealin' ma material!
Here's the direct link to the Herald journalists' letter to Simons: http://publicaddress.net/system/topic,991,hard_news_call_it_what_you_like.sm?p=44324#post44324
What's more likely to be the case is that the ninth floor will be reading you and will occasionally find a line it likes and run it. That definitely happens.
Good point, Andy. Did you hear Mediawwatch saying Key obviously didn't mean he wanted NZ wages to drop? Quite probably. By if it is indeed so obvious, why should APN management force its journalists to say so?
The telecom theft is the best example, imagine the govt wats to build a road through half your house. Under fair circumstances you would expect to be compensated for this loss of possesion. Bill, I've spoken with a fair few business people about Telecom ...
The Havoc interview is here: http://95bfm.com/assets/sm/186370/3/JohnKey21.mp3 Key implies that the "young guy" (ie: reporter) in attendance took faulty notes, he would never had said that, etc. Claims they've tried to track down the notes. He then bridges...
He seemed to have a whole other defence talking to Mikey Havoc this morning. Y'all might want to watch out for that audio turning up on Scoop. It's a bit boring, though ...
