OK, though I wonder how many non-Labour voters will feel excluded by that (already known) association. Somehow I doubt Banks would have sworn off the National party conference or endorsement if the shoe were on the other foot.

Geoff, you just paste the raw link here - without all the square brackets rigmarole - and the system does the rest. You do need to include the whole link including the 'http' at the beginning.

There's a huge gulf in relevant experience between Brown and Hubbard. And I don't see any lack of walking the talk going on by Brown at this stage either. Have I missed some news?

The current laws seem to work pretty well.
Idiot/Savant agrees.
...the claim that we are not subject to any form of regulation is simply false. As a blogger, I'm subject to exactly the same laws as Power is in issuing his press releases. If I defame someone, I can be sued. If I publish objectionable material, I can be prosecuted. If I breach a court suppression order, I can be fined. Rather than showing that the blosophere is a "wild west", the recent Whale Oil case showed that the law is perfectly capable of dealing with it.
The problem for the justice system isn't the blogosphere, but the net's combination of strong anonyminity and a free market in legal jurisdictions. The same technology that allows human rights activists to hide from the Iranian regime and circumvent the Great Firewall of China also allows people to read or post or host information which undermines our justice system.

Maybe we should come up with a list of sites he should be reading for him. Obviously The Wellingtonista and Hubris are good starting points...
Only if you want him to ban drinking next

Sky's broadcast was ahead of Prime's by perhaps 5 minutes
Do they do that with other supposedly live free-to-air coverage?

Loving this concise solution from Andrew Geddis in the Dimpost comments:
Wouldn’t it just be easier to pass a law banning Cameron Slater?

What statutory rights do "real" news media enjoy alongside their responsibilities?
A central question. I thought copyright and defamation were affected at least.
