The email being "released" tonight is now available in screenshot format. Its pretty amusing. (could also be horribly fake, and just a screenshot of notepad or something).

But there is something for them, even if they don't think there is. All of the indirect benefits.
A better off society benefits all members, if there are more jobs, then there is more money flowing around, and more niche industries can operate (ie more chances of finding forefilling employment). If salaries are higher they are both getting more money to spend, and there is more money flowing around that they get paid from.
If everyone has affordable housing over their heads, they have more money with which to buy goods and services, and the flow on from there, is more jobs, more products and more things to do.

Just from reading the PDF from HorizonResearch I now understand where most of nationals support comes from.
The age tables are mostly telling, with them sitting in low 30% votes up to the 55-64yr bracket where they jump to 40% and up to 48% in the 65-74 bracket.
So like every other country on the planet, we are run by old men, for old (white?) men.
Green party is roughly the opposite, with 41% of the vote in the 18-24 year bracket.

Has anyone setup a youtubedoubler style page for this? to stream both tvnz and greenroom at the same time on the same screen?

Hasn’t Slater inadvertantly admitted that all the content is real with his claims that dotcom hacked him to get the emails?
Keys saying its all false/out of context. Slater is just going full guns at who he thinks is responsible, and ignoring/unaware that it pretty much confirms everything as being true.

Hard News: Not doing justice, in reply to Matt Crawford,
But something is definitely weird when looking at the amount of antisemitism being daubed across National billboards. It wasn’t like this last time.
Seems like Confirmation Bias to me. It has been rasied in multiple areas so it seems a lot more obvious.

But if they make you pay for access, don't they then have to provide quality content?
HAHAHA sorry I couldn't help myself. This is why paywalls tend to mostly fail, unless your producing content of a high enough quality, most people won't pay for it.

Hard News: The Cycle Frolic, in reply to Matthew Poole,
Have you sent the stats to the guys at transportblog? they would probably be able to make a post out of it (for their mythbusting segments).

I think my opinion on this was changed by a comment by Russell when the law came out, and it was about how this makes the law equitable between adults and children. In that behaviors that would be illegal against an adult were now illegal against a child. And that just because a person is your child doesn’t give you free reign to commit assault on them.
So its still surprising to me that there are politicians pushing the agenda to allow that to take place again.
