Speaker: Telling Our Own Tales, in reply to BenWilson,
It’s something that’s “in hand”, something that’s not good, but is being given an appropriate level of support and care.
It's what happens when you abdicate responsbility to a 'leader'. It's this govt's style, and people voted them back in. But it corrodes community (and perhaps morality as we're seeing play out).
I'm grateful I got to see Chch the day before the quake, and wasn't one of the hotel guests on the 4am pavement. Thanks for that final beer at the Dux, Emma.

Gorgeous.
There will be work for sale, so you may want to bring cash.
Roughly how much, for us noobs?

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to nzlemming,
Surely there'd be grounds for prosecution somewhere in there?

Speaker: On the upland road, in reply to Angela Hart,
There's a subtle difference between contractors and agencies that they're exploiting. I reckon Ombudsman will find in your favour - eventually. Or we could change the govt to one who will be more open about such details.

Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Alfie,
I think part of the problem with the current debates is the candidates being encouraged to shout over each other.
Reflects media framing the election as a one-on-one testosterone fest rather than a nuanced MMP conversation. Compare with the tone of the Campbell Live multi-party dinner or any of Native Affairs' frequent multi-party debates.
I'd rather see one show of all the likely right-leaning coalition partners and another with the left-leaning ones - showing us how they get on and rehearsing policy trade-offs.

Speaker: On the upland road, in reply to Dismal Soyanz,
long since addressed and discounted arguments
Not everybody will be on the same page.

Speaker: On the upland road, in reply to Pharmachick,
I think there’s a lot of stinky stuff on all sides
Feel free to provide examples to back up your reckons.
There is some glorious hair splitting in “leaking” not being “theft”.
The legal position on what counts as a defence was outlined clearly hereabouts by law professor Nicole Moreham.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Dennis GRAHAM,
not if she is convicted..

Speaker: On the upland road, in reply to linger,
ah, hadn't thought that far. I'm sure it's doable.

Speaker: On the upland road, in reply to linger,
who should make the decisions on whether someone’s behaviour is consistent with journalism?
Media regulator I mentioned, in response to complaints I’d imagine.
And is the decision to be made on the basis of the writer’s entire body of output (applying the “innocent until proven guilty” principle to new writers), or is each piece of writing to be judged on a case-by-case basis?
Both – again, in response to complaints.
