Hard News: Mt Albert: Cooperating,…, in reply to Hilary Stace,
She might want to start a family.
Has been quoted explicitly saying that.

Hard News: If this was ever funny, it's…, in reply to Russell Brown,
how "fake news" got turned around.
The same way "dirty politics" did in NZ - organised repetition, message discipline, weakened media, and some useful idiots. Just with better push tools in the US case because they can afford them.

Wow. They rigged all that at Splore?

Thanks Alex. Maybe good to add that link from your site somewhere? And my thanks for what you and your colleagues have done so far. Important for the future of meaningful media in NZ.

Delighted to be able to chip in a wee regular amount last week. Did notice a couple of minor UX issues that seem simple to address as the service evolves.
I like the idea of Russell and others having some funding available if a post/series requires travel, phone calls, buying an interviewee a coffee, that sort of thing. Even if it's voluntary it shouldn't *cost* major contributors to enrich our knowledge.

Access: Murder – it’s not OK., in reply to Hilary Stace,
People with autism do not become premeditated killers.
No shit. #grrrr
Judge Nicholas Davidson said Merritt’s disorder had impacted his life and was connected to the murder of Ms Ross.
"References to the mild end of the ASD spectrum shouldn’t, in my view, trivialise your impairment," he said.
"You do suffer from a mental disorder as the law understands it. It’s part of your make-up and the reason you killed Ms Ross."
How do we ensure judges like this get educated? Probably good intent but woefully ignorant.
