Is it true that New Zealand First has one in the ballot that raises the age to 65?

"There has been a spirited debate under David's post as to whether the arrest of Millie Elder is news. I'm afraid it is."
And why exactly does 'what the public are interested in' qualify as 'in the public interest'? Or are you saying it does not need to be in the public interest to qualify as news?
I hate that type of journalism.

What is DC on?
She states:
1. "Let's not pretend all Asians are good", ah, who is doing that?2. "NZ once regarded Chinese immigrants as hard working, law abiding, good kiwis", ah, that would explain the disgraceful 'Chinaman' taxes of 100 years ago, one of our more shameful episodes. Not only statistically inept, but historically wanting as well.
3. "We're paying for it (Asian crime)", Ah, statistically 'they' are paying for more of 'our' crime. Clearly she does not see Asian immigrants as the 'good kiwis' she laments about.
4. "While researching the story", no, you did not.
I'll leave it there (the end of column one), wondering how her 'mature debate on immigration' is possible when anecdotal evidence over sausage rolls in Bulls takes precedence over even a glimmer of fact.
Her wheel is still spinning but her mouse has clearly died.

Terence: "presumably she thinks Mr Asia was Asian", very funny.

Hi all, to me this is not political, DC has merely exposed herself as lazy.
In my opinion she started this story based on anecdotal evidence with the expectation it would prove true. When the opposite proved the case she was either too lazy or too intellectually inept to alter the work already completed, primarily because on the facts the sensational story simply disappeared, and hard work appeared in its place.
Is the MSM on a continual quality slide, as I am now boycotting more (formerly respected) media than I consume?, or is it just me becoming more of a pretentious w$#%*r?
cheers,
