Phone and fax spam. There seem to be plenty of it from ACT last election. The faxes at least had the parliamentary crest on it, the phone spam pretended to be a poll and asked one question...
"Will you be voting for a change in government"...click
These are the folks that are now opposing tax payer funding of political parties. Actually, the whole issue of funding "polls" during elections is interesting.

Drip Feed Freddie wins, again.

The second photo (labourer at wind farm 2) is a clever photo because of the frame of the window behind the subject.
Interesting. I was reminded of this for no good reason, other than I was...

And Moz has just said there's "no major difference" between National and Labour and even the Greens on broadband policy!
First he comes to the NZ Open Source Awards now this. It is a confusing and fast moving world for sure.
their benchmarking against Ireland is bogus
Almost a sure fire way of saving your reading time is to check for "Ireland economic miracle" type statements in these sort of reports.
Does anyone know, is the NZ Institute another BRT front or are they really doing useful, independent economic analysis?

I'm hoping not to get ambushed, hit by a flying grenade or an exploding donkey.
Until I read this I was thinking a bit of rain in Sydney was inconvenient.

You made a little girl cry with your camera of oppression!
Robyn, maybe she expected to be really shot, who knows?
The caption "Livestock Market, Chaghcharan" with the photo of the bike and cow did say more than 1000 words.

But it is a word with such a boring meaning
Until Mussolini co-opted it and used it as a way of shutting down internet discussions.

That they also don't feel the need to remind people that Sir Geoffrey Palmer is a former Labour Party leader and Prime Minister every time he's interviewed
Well they should. More so when using people like David who is well known in only very limited circles.
However, the current vitriolic campaign against DPF misses the point completely. David is very open and upfront about who he is and who he supports. I see a lot of playing the man not the ball going on right now which tells me he is being pretty effective.
The media should be criticised because it is absolutely useless giving is background on their so called "experts" and "panel members". I find it incredibly annoying when the likes of Stephen Franks and others are rolled out supposedly to give an independent view on something they actually have a strong political position on. But it is not the fault of Palmer, Franks or Farrar that their interviewers don't bother giving us some background where it is relevant to the topic at hand.

Is that a typo? I thought we nominated Don Christie?
Bugger. I thought I was voting for myself.
Still, I am sure I could use mistaken identity to stroll up and put together a few words totally dissing Wellington.
I am still trying to recover from trying to visualise Don as a Goth
Yes, I fell into the gap between punk and goth. I think it was called "neo rhomboid".
On the dissing theme I am using your blog for a plug for the opposition.
Brenda Wallace is a serious contender for the Dub Dub Dub and deserving nomination. Vote for brenda.

Thanks, I missed your response. I agree the anomalies should be fixed. Just because legislation won't be enforced is not a reason for letting it slip through.
