What, there's an app for that? :)

Speaker: TPPA: It's Extreme, in reply to Steve Withers,
The problem is most Kiwis have no idea what any of this means....and their eyes glaze over when you try to explain it even if they ask.
True - the various consequences need to be turned into realistic examples that are easy to convey

Don't drink and ride
They should get you to make the cautionary public campaign, with descriptive powers like that

Hard News: The Wall and the Paper, in reply to nzlemming,
And a nice piece it is too: "Michael Laws really is a special little man".
+1 - though it only reinforces my dislike of "special" in other contexts too

Everyone else is too scared :)

Legal Beagle: Hidden in plain sight, in reply to Ian MacKay,
If I was a defendant and had to provide my defence to the prosecution wouldn't that mean that big money could be spent by the prosecution to undermine my defence before it was even my turn to defend in the courtroom?
Yes. Expect to see cuts in prosecution budgets..

Legal Beagle: Hidden in plain sight, in reply to BenWilson,
Other than that it's a very general strengthening of prosecution power, which I haven't heard any particular case for, other than cost-cutting. Do our prosecutors really need more advantages, considering that they already wield the power and financing of the State?
I'd say your answer lies in ideology

Field Theory: Hospital Pass, in reply to LegBreak,
redistribute pool matches around the South Island
Martin Snedden was admirably upfront about that on Campbell Live last night (streaming, 4 mins). Very clear that they can't jeopardise delivery at this late stage but committed to adding on extra games in existing South Island venues where they're capable.
As someone said up thread, they need to align sets of games for the benefit of fans though so probably some juggling with the move of those big Chch games to Ak.

The new Otago Stadium will apparently have 30,000 seats at a push
Probably your answer - twice as much ground capacity at Eden Park, regardless of accommodation arrangements. Caketin holds 36,000.
