Fullers has cancelled all ferry sailings in the Hauraki Gulf from noon to 1.30pm (http://www.fullers.co.nz/news-events/travel-notices.php)
They have a nominal txt alert system in place but only those that registered for the "off peak" got them this morning. Obviously rush hour commuters can just ride the waves.

Fail to see the newsworthiness of this "riot".
Drunk students' skulls get cracked by police batons is a rite of passage for both sides.
To paraphrase John Waters: if your child hasn't been arrested as a teenager, there must be something wrong with him. -
@Craig Ranapia: Catholic MPs in our (and other countries') parliaments always face interesting dilemmas. The leader they have pledged allegiance to - remember, Catholicism involves subjugation to the infallibility and the precedence of Vatican diktats over mere domestic profane law - has ordered them to prevent or change laws that allow gay marriage and/or civil unions. Apart from the tragic irony that the biggest homosexual closet in world history is such a staunch defender of the particular lifestyle option of hetero marriage, I am far more disturbed by the fact that many of our elected politicians swear an oath to serve New Zealand, but then follow orders from a foreign power in their legislative voting pattern. Was Harry Duynhoven dumped on for renewing his dual nationality (NZ-Dutch) because - it was presumed? - he would try to introduce liberal Dutch legislation on euthanasia, dope and gay marriage into NZ? So to cut the hypocrisy after the defeat of the Death With Dignity Bill in 2003, I call on all Catholic MPs, including Bill English, the Member of Papal States (South Pacific), to choose which power they serve: the NZ electorate or that foreign prince who only uses his organ to piss.

The Catholic Church really got into a pickle when it lost its universatility, including universal church laws and church taxes, in the Reformation, which was really swapping one spiritual overlord and attendant costs for another.
Thank God it held on to its MP in parliament, Bill English representing the Vatican for the South Pacific. -

Re. drinking licences. Yes, licence drinkers instead of venues (btw - why is it you don't need a licence to sell cigarettes, which kill more people than alcohol)
I would be in favour of being able to choose between a drinking licence and a driving licence, but you shouldn't be able to hold both simultaneously. You could switch between them but not on the same night.Also, there is actually no drinking age in law, only a legal alcohol purchasing age. So there should be venues for 16 to 25 years olds (where all other age groups are banned from, like we have in continental Europe) where young people can drink under supervision

Swimming wardrobe malfunctions are not just for the boys to perve at.
FINA should organise different kind of swimming events: one for technology (akin to the manufacturers' championship in F1 motorracing); old fashioned swim events in woollen suits so records can be compared over the centuries; and au naturel swim meets to boost TV viewership figures. -
My gripe with PA: the multiple subjects in the blog posts (I don't mind their length) make it impossible in the comment sections to react meaningfully. The commentary is on a million different issues and there is no threading possible.
Also, I doubt anyone reads much past page 3 of the commentaries, so I doubt anyone reads this!
