In my opinion it is a very, very successful programme
Well that's OK then, as he's such an all-round 100% pure genius.

By the sounds of this, they appear to have a problem with potential takatapui clients.
And do they harbour discriminatory attitudes about providing services to migrants, based on the attitudes Russell linked to?

doing my planned critique of Henry's 60 Minutes profile for PAR
My sympathies. Might be easier to just focus on the decor of his wee bach..

it's all that black - absorbs all the light and traps the heat - then radiates it out to the surrounding area, ergo: local warming

Destiny has emerged as I have been in China and the only information I have comes from what I have seen online. I will only say that writing them off as 'Density' is not helpful. Meet them, talk to them, walk in their shoes, and then decide whether or not you can pass judgement.
Chris, if you had seen the way they inserted their bigotry forcefully into politics during that time - including their infamous blackshirted march - you would understand the cynicism. There was a pisstake of their website called Density, which stuck for many of us I suspect.

That he was both a speechwriter and a strategist for Labour may go some way towards explaining the party's current predicament.
That he *remained* one for so long really speaks volumes..

Destiny has helped people get out of the gutter, and men become fathers.
I'd like to see journos ask about why the 'church' have had funding applications for their programmes turned down - those agencies must have reasons.
And it's the bit that gets much less play than his tired misogyny, homophobia, and delusions of political grandeur. It shouldn't.
Totally. If they want to claim to be a social service agency, then let's see them examined as one.

He describes Islam as “that devilish thing” and the construction of a Buddhist temple in Botany Downs as “opening a door from Hell”, and then goes on to link both with “immigrants … who won’t change their demon religions” and are “pouring in” to New Zealand as a result of a “demon” looking around the world for openings where God has been pushed out. They are, he claims, bringing with them the economic and social degradation that their wicked faiths have wrought on their countries of origin.
You're right, quoting the Bish's migrant-bashing would have made for some more interesting on-air wriggling.
Did you spot the bit in passing towards the end where Richard Lewis says that by attending the pollies were "endorsing" Destiny? Campbell seemed to miss his chance to follow up on that.

While I don’t think anyone (male or female) wearing rugger strip in the chamber constitutes business dress, my opinion doesn’t really signify does it?
I bleieve you could very easily call it common sense. Sports uniforms are not standard business dress. Hardly contentious - and I agree, a waste of parliamentary time.
