Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to BenWilson,
Thanks Ben, great to see the issues that really matter being discussed. Overall you seem to be a little more optimistic than David Graeber.

I’m pretty sure that is a Wayne Youle (Māori artist) tee.
Reckon you're right. If it's not Youle it's an actionable knockoff.

Ms Rich has denied she has been involved in any campaign to undermine public health, and has refused to resign from the agency.
If there was an award for smarm on stilts Rich would be a contender: I found that most things could be survived as long as there was family, friends, and Flying Nun—a good dose of Flying Nun,

Brownlee hasn’t attended a meet the candidates event for at least the last two elections. Back in 2011 the excuse was that he was too busy.

Does anyone here take LF seriously? Just asking.
Never come across them until now. While I persevered through Ugly Truth’s link, its self-aggrandisingly beady-eyed tone mainly served to remind just how good a presenter of complex information Hager can be.

Speaker: Telling Our Own Tales, in reply to ilmars Gravis,
To put it simply, this isn’t going to be the last time this happens and it could easily be worse next time. Something my lecturer told us put it in perspective for me, apparently if we have an event of the magnitude of the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake that considerably altered the coastline of the North Island, the Christchurch events will pale in comparison.
Because power was out for some time after the September 4 quake, and because so many of us had become complacent about emergency-friendly phones and radios, it took a while to discover where the epicentre was. I remember the relief when it was revealed how close it was. As someone put it, if it felt this strong here, and it had been centred in Wellington, there'd be nothing left there but a huge hole in the ground.

It’s not like socialist ideas get no traction in rural communities. They just do it differently to city dwellers. I think rural people have quite a different idea of the good life.
How quickly we forget. Selective socialism, in the form of subsidies, propped up the rural sector right up until the 1984 election.

Yes, in the latest dump. An error of judgment indeed. If true. Which is something we need to keep in mind.
Josie Pagani has been a longtime Blair apologist. It's a position from which she's never resiled.
