Up to a metre of warm summer rain - one of several extreme rain events on the West Coast in recent summers that will further destroy the glaciers. Hard to believe what's happened in the last 5yrs Franz Josef Glacier has shrunk 500m in the past five years ...
Yes it's giving the govt a free ride, and follows the poor performance leading up to the election. Craig Rennie left to take Willis apart, for example, with her misleading tax scam. I almost despair, and if they don't get thier shit together I'll cast my ...
Plus they interviewed Brigitte Morten Without revealing her political links . . of course.

Thank you for reminding us of that wide range of groups helping prop up society and the environment.
Yes there are some mitigating circumstances. This story didn't feature any of them. Totally agree about trucks.
Heartily sick of these stories. When are drivers going to take responsibility for their lack of road skills. Use your eyes, potholes are well visible if you are awake. Slow down, take the slight deviation necessary to miss them. The photo in this story ...
Don't knock Neanderthals by comparing them to some modern men From Wikipedia: For much of the early 20th century, European researchers depicted Neanderthals as primitive, unintelligent and brutish. Although knowledge and perception of them has markedly ...
Todd McLay taking credit by default. Why didn't labour pre-empt this sort of thing by putting out a press release, the National machine doesn't knock off for the holidays.

As Brian Cadogan so clearly observed some weeks ago, the Te Reo push back comes from the 'perpetually outraged' I can't see these being more than 20% but increasing.
Almost satire.
International law is different than the 'rules based order'
As I read those lyrics about the Birmingham Six, I couldn't but think of Julian Assange. Over 1700 days in Belmarsh for the 'crime' of journalism. War criminals he exposed - 0 days in prison. I agree with your choice of song. As a measure of how simple and...

I think I will credit Stephen D with being able to work things out for himself.

there's lots of other possibilities. Winston.
I suspect the opposition will get around that - he is going to get a hammering.
It's either next level obscenity of war, or next level propaganda. Cui Bono. The first casualty of war is truth.
And you can bet the price of this particular example won't stop . . . A wee vision of the future in many parts of NZ as the costs of fixing 3 Waters comes home to householders rather than NZ Inc.
