Aid works best when it is a regarded as a humanitarian gesture. Government tampering serves only to debase it.
Isn't this exactly the sort of thing we decry Japan doing to get people to join up and vote for them on the IWC?

Well that too Nat.
I'm not an advocate of selling, now would just seem like a really shortsighted time to sell.
I suspect the family equivalent would be - main income earner loses job = family sells house and starts renting just after bottom has fallen out of housing market = way to lose $100K.

I guess, now that I think about it, this must be why they call it the one o'clock gun.
Maybe guns are like some farmers and don't do daylight savings?

"The psychiatric reports before the Court suggest that he represents, in the words of one of them, a high and persistent risk of violent re-offending.Unless that risk can be convincingly dispelled, Bell ought to be kept in custody for the rest of his natural life."
And the next sentence:
For the reasons given his appeal is allowed.The 33 year order is quashed.In its place we make an order of 30 years duration.
I'm not aware of any law that allows us to lock anyone away in jail for the rest of their natural life. A psychiatric institution maybe?

At meal-times, each animal must be offered food before Bob-the-baby will consent to dine. And if any are inadvertently missed -- for some odd reason, I often forget the sheep -- then there are terrible howls of anguish from Bob, who clearly believes that they might starve to death.
Make sure you fix this before you get a family dog. You'll have any dog trainer pulling their hair out if you get the feeding order wrong.

(Kyle, you grew up on the *Shore*, for goodness' sake. I don't think you get to be all Mainlandy without that disclaimer attached. :) )
Shush! You'll blow my cover!

For a lawyer, Franks really doesn't seem to have much time for natural justice.
I'm guessing, if the shoe was on the other foot, Franks wouldn't grab his coat and go "ooh, well if it's politically convenient for you guys, sure, I'll resign. No, I don't want a payout or anything, best of luck!"

Like you really need the encouragement?
Well, it's like you're trying hard to encourage it!

That's an awful magazine cover for the ages.
Top ten magazine covers designed to make the rest of the country dislike Auckland.
