and the Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal.
Decision
[112] The appeal is dismissed and the declarations made by Clifford J are upheld in this Court, though for different reasons:
(a) The song is not an election advertisement for the purposes of s 3A of the Electoral Act.

Step right up...
...it’s going to a good home.
Savvy buying, sir, I assure you this fine fnun artefact will do nothing but accrue value with every solar orbit...
it will imbue any environment it occupies with the warm psychic effusion of innocent times past...
what's more it reaches parts…

There are a lot of songs about a lot of public figures, but the last time I heard of such a thing as this was way back when some pig loving official banned a comedic ditty called ‘Spotty Muldoon’ from the NZBC play lists.

That was one of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDQQTvnTnlY|Peter Cook's…

Thanks to Darren Watson, I will always have an image in my mind now of John Key playing a Hector's dolphin, and I, for one, salute him (Watson) for that.

All of this puts me in mind of Saturday 29th November 1975 – pushing through the crush of bodies at the Windsor Asshole and remonstrating with fellow fans that NZ was no longer a fit place to live in.
Most were more interested in getting into the bog to whack…

I saw Darren Watson mention on his FB page that he'd had a phone conversation with the Electoral Commission. who had told him they believed it crossed the line into being a political advertisement. The Electoral Commission also told Access Radio to stop playing it as it may be a…

Few more photos from Broods last night. They have progressed a lot from the first show we saw at Kings Arms late last year, and the crowd was sure with them. Tour schedule taking its toll on Georgia’s voice though, which seems to be a thing. She managed well in…

So glad I checked in here when I did. Let's just say it's going to a good home. Well, my home, which is good for me. Will look through the rest too, but do send me a heads…

re ‘Boodle’ comic – hazy but as a distributor at the time I vaguely recall that maybe only the first few pressings (coupla thousand maybe) got the comic…

500 I think.

3 News has an interesting article on Watson’s decision to remove “Planet Key” from the web.

That is useful.

there were five, for some reason I think there were meant to be six but one never got made – just chatted to Alan who looked after the production of them and he only remembers the five

discogs have them listed:

it came from the past...
questions ... on FN ephemera
as always Audioculture has useful information (even one of my old fax-collages, remember the fax?)

I remember the 'Roger's Ruin' brew from the 15th anniversary,
but not the 5 or 6, 7"s sorry.

3 News has an interesting article on Watson’s decision to remove “Planet Key” from the web.

Watson tweeted on Tuesday that he would be removing it from sale “by order of the Electoral Commission” – but the commission says it has made no such order.

“We haven’t ordered anything to…

HA – I have that reaction to a lot of acts these days.. must be this younger generation and their lack of adhering to genre specific music naming conventions as assumed and taken for granted by older people

I thought I liked Caribou most when he's Daphni and these latest…

Russell Brown

I’m picking Caribou for one of the best albums of the year, dudes a wicked producer

For the longest time I assumed they were an indie band I probably wouldn't like.

Not even Muldoon managed to get this one banned:

Also, it's a little disturbing to see how little the Parliament end of Wellington has changed since 1980.

That's a nice item Ian, I have those cards somewhere in the garage, along with a calendar from about the same time I think...

In lieu of me bidding, can I ask 2 questions of the group on FN ephemera?

Good call...

That’s a beautiful thing!

Russell has been great highlighting ‘Grafix Knox’, a proposed book of Chris Knox’s graphic and visual art, but I thought it was worth alerting all readers of Hard News to https://www.fundnation.co.nz/projects/discover/grafix-knox where they have only SIX DAYS left to pledge. You can see we still have…

banning of Darren Watson's song just seems petty and silly... what next books?

I've taken to following Mr Busnach cause of your incessant posting of his goods *shakes fist*... the Geraldine Superstar Cabaret remix of Lawrence Welk's Chicken Polka is pure class (well if polka, chickens and silliness is classy)…

Listen, they even say "please", a little politeness goes a long way.

She did stand down, after a mere 17 years.

Ok, so maybe politeness doesn't help.
