OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to BenWilson,
I do rather feel that Cunliffe wants the job more. That’s worth something in itself.
It's nice to read a reason that isn't tied up with reinforcement of the author's pre-existing theory, or an argument about who really carries the baggage of the last Labour government.
By the same token, I think that Cunliffe's palpable alienation of so many colleagues doesn't speak well for his ability to lead a united Parliamentary party.

I predicted here a few months ago that Paula Bennett would lose her electorate seat and so it has came to pass…just.
No worries. She's still up for a promotion.

That's really quite lovely.
Moved to try and find those old photos of the family Velox now.

I was impressed by how fast #eqjp appeared when Japan had their big quake. Did New Zealanders create/popularise that tag as well?
At a guess, yes.

Hard News: The Public Address Word of…, in reply to Gee,
backing ‘#eqnz’ and ‘munted’, with runners-up ‘red-stickered’ and ‘nekminnit’
Even though #eqnz was born in 2010, it had a much bigger role in 2011.
It's not just a hashtag, it's a genuine piece of folksonomy: it was created in the wild and it became official simply because people used it.

Hard News: Kittens and Confetti, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Thanks Ian. I think Blair forgot to tell me that part :-)
I've added it to the main post.

I am both delighted and excited to see some of this legendary series of photographs here.
That is all.
