Hard News: Radio Punks: So many stories, in reply to Sacha,
Also one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Hard News: Radio Punks: So many stories, in reply to Russell Brown,
It was just the genius of Rick.
Verily. I've told some of you about the late 80s news team's flash Nakamichi multi-pattern microphone which Rick re-engineered to run off standard AA batteries rather than the $40-each factory Li-ion ones. A third of the voltage, with no discernable loss of recording quality. Someone nominate the man for an award soon, ok.

Also, any time someone prompts you to play this wonderful track, is a good thing.
Astonishing live too.

And here's some of the reaction to recent NZ Labour positioning, with usual caveats about single polls rather than trends. Seems even racists want to feel confident their interests will be represented competently. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/71308270/national-jumps-to-outright-majority-in-latest-roy-morgan-poll

Polity: In defence of the centre, in reply to Tom Semmens,
If you think it is too hard, get out of the way and find someone more interested in trying.
This.

have learned some of the strange rules by watching #nzqt more times than is healthy. :)

Polity: Saudi sheep: Misappropriating…, in reply to chris,
perfectly reasonable questions
if a supplementary question has more than one part, the Minister only has to answer one. Which predictably is what he did.
So, no, asking a question like that is not reasonable - it's a wasted opportunity and utterly stupid behaviour that Labour shows no sign of improving on.
It doesn't strike me as entirely untoward to suggest a change of tack.
Amen. They need their heads banged together.

Of course the right of Labour seems right-wing. It is. Broad church, etc.
Little has said Labour will keep trial periods. Clark presided over 9 years of widening the gap between wages and benefit payments.

Polity: In defence of the centre, in reply to keeaa,
What policies reside there, if any?
90-day employment trial periods, for instance. Not increasing benefit levels, for another.

I wouldn't be making a local case based on first-past-post UK. Or on elections where the voters happened to deliver viable coalition numbers for Labour and parties to its right.
Coalition might go to the left this time - if Labour can pull its weight, and Winston doesn't slime back to the Nats. Big ifs, I know.
