Not a native, and not a great photo, but I’m so chuffed to unexpectedly come face-to-face with one of these in my own garden! And it waited while I ran in for my camera, too. :-) Quite a fatty. Hoping my cat doesn’t see it.

Hard News: The Advocate, in reply to Bart Janssen,
A much better mark of success is the actual changes they’ve helped make by presenting stories of real people
I absolutely LOVED them for the coverage of red zone life post-quake. Including the house-moving story of our own David Haywood. That's real, important stuff.

Hard News: The Advocate, in reply to Dave Guerin,
I believe Campbell Live is biased against power and towards the left
If it were biased towards power, then it would be propaganda.

Hard News: The Advocate, in reply to Steve Barnes,
when Campbell covered the “Corngate Scandal” I felt annoyed that he expected the then PM, Helen Clark, to have all the information at her fingertips without giving her the “Heads Up” on the guts of the interview.
That debacle was such a shame. And that was one time Clark DIDN'T know what to say. Usually she was up to date with everything and eager to talk to the media about it. Crikey, imagine if Key were like that.

Isn't a major part of journalism sticking up for the underdogs and keeping the politicians honest?
Fox news does the opposite: it reinforces the lies of the powerful.
I'm sure Campbell Live would be talking to govt ministers a lot, if the bastards would ever front. But they don't seem to see that as their job.

Capture: BOTY Potty., in reply to JacksonP,
Gareth's skua seems not to be there, although its caption is.

Speaker: Key: Concession Not Recession, in reply to Graham Reid,
I had credited PA readers with more humour/sense/wit etc.
Graham, dude, high horse? If you want a more civilised tone, don't sink down to that level. While riding your high horse in the water under the bridge. You're better than that.
You wrote a delightful piece that delighted a lot of people. Did we not say so?

Speaker: Key: Concession Not Recession, in reply to Tom Semmens,
Of course, water under the bridge is water under the bridge. As far as I am concerned being wrong isn’t a crime, but not learning from it is. I wonder how many people who regularly post here have learnt anything from being wrong over the Hobbit?
Haha. Very good!

Mr Key was entertained by Demi Moore who did an exciting dance involving veils. Afterwards she was seen to approach Mr Key and whisper something to him.
“Oh, it was something I’m pretty comfortable with, it was just a small request which we will be looking into in the coming weeks. I didn’t quite catch what she said and will be getting clarification in the coming days, but I think all she asked for was something like, what Dotcom said on a platter.
Brilliant, Graham. :-)

Yeah, fascinating, Damien. And, notwithstanding what Ian says, without any celebrity nipple.
