  • Legal Beagle: Think it possible that you…,

    I think there is a fair bit of missing the point here. Graeme has explained why he is agin advertising boycotts in principle. He has then rambled on a bit about things you could do instead of instigating a boycott. The fact that those things may or may not be effective takes nothing away from the primary point he is making.

    I will put words in his mouth and suggest he doesn't think ends justify means. I would hope other don't also (Marxists aside, obviously).

    " The format is designed to attract controversy and the owners/editors have demonstrated time and again that they only care about advertisers dollars."

    Talkback radio not your thing eh? Interesting.

    I assume everyone disagreeing with Edgeler thinks editorial indepedence is a dumb idea?

    (I realise the Marxists like Tiso do, but assume some of y'all are generally in favour of liberal democracy)

  • Hard News: SpinCity,

    I see. So we had an arms length authority to deal with casino licensing etc, and Labour politicised it.

  • OnPoint: On Price Gouging,

    What is so special about the ex ante price though? What about the guy in need who lost his wallet in the quake? Surely the petrol companies were being ruthless for charging 2 dollars a litre. Why not a dollar, why not give it away for free?
