Well hey, I just got namechecked. Thanks, Pete, does this mean that I am now world famous in New Zealand? Achievement unlocked?
As a new member of Russell Brown's troops (though I never took his shilling), I'm curious: is there a base? Does all of it belong to us? Will there be cake or is that a lie?
Very surprised. Much wow.
So meta.

Hard News: Word of the Year 2014: The Vote, in reply to Russell Brown,
I note that his word of the year is "selfie" which coincidentally is Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year.
In 2013.

Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to Josh Petyt,
I'm seeing a move away from calling them ISIS (which can be confused for the Egyptian Goddess who some pagans honour) to ISIL (which Prez Obama favours).

The day we stop using 'beltway' to refer to NZ politics cannot come too soon.

I was undecided about compulsory voting but have changed my mind. I now think enrolling & voting should be compulsory. But there should also be some sort of "no confidence" option rather than having to spoil your vote to signify dissatisfaction (I think it will be good to get some numbers on this).
It will change voting into an opt-out system: the default scenario is that everyone is enrolled & expected to vote . You can choose to opt-out but it comes with a small financial penalty, and you'll be making an active decision to opt-out.
