Chris, you're twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing. Read your own words on this page.
Why are judges guilty until you are "convinced" they're innocent?

You're not thinking of bitchy emails, by any chance?
More journos writing stories about each other.. -
The fast tennis serve story I saw was good too - topical, simple and light-hearted but not sensationalist in any way.

Boobies do the trick, says TV3 boss:
"On the wins they've created this week ... the team will be enjoying a beer or three at our Christmas party," Audsley said.

Hilary, I reckon you're better using the term "capped" then.
Ring-fenced usually means separated out so it can't be spent on other things. Doesn't convey the nub of the problem which is the funding being determined not by the level of need but by political whim and bureaucratic fancy.
Look forward to more detail about LAC costs/benefits when it's released. I've witnessed the Misery of Health disability services folk waste vast amounts more saying no than it would have cost to say yes. Creates a culture of mistrust and as you say of encouraging applicants to emphasise weakness over strengths. To their credit they have now made it simpler to get relatively cheap equipment and housing mods done without as much fuss. So much more to fix though.

By "ring-fenced" I take it you mean capped - which in practical terms means without sufficient funding to meet need. ORRS is a classic example.
It has distorted what the government agencies focus their energies on too - saying no rather than yes.
