sorry to hear that Eusa, will have a word to the enforcers about some sort of restorative justice.

preaching to the converted here
well maybe Kirsten, but it's really important sane people like yourself speak up on this in order that we avoid the Spiral of Silence the bill's opponents are so desperate to promote.

They're for perfectly legitimate cross-stitch
tell that to the Judge. and enough of that 'needles don't make smocking, people make smocking' carry-on.

What we can do to stop smocking... hell, I don't know. Ban needles?
too late, those filthy politically correct do-gooders have set up needle exhanges to entrench the scourge of smocking. perhaps we could get Bishop Brian to wear some in his next parade, he seems to like dressing up.

The last time I saw Phil Goff he was jumping out the back of a C130.
But to characterize John Key as the perfect National front for its Strategic Emptiness is a bit harsh, why only a few months ago he came up with the marvellous idea of fixing the problems of poverty with muesli bars.
I think the turnoff factor associated with politics at the moment is attributable to the willingness to dysinform and nastiness of tone adopted by some factions. Political disaffection affects mostly those already inclined towards disaffectation and disenfranchisement, and thereby benefits the right.

i think the kinds of friends they've made over their stance on this bill will haunt National in the future for sure.

that sounds like the professor is living up to his name, is he quoting from the Maxim Institute Journal of Family Law?

great post thanks.
i think smocking is also pretty inhumane, especially an entire magazine devoted to it. who are these sick people?i have found that most kiwis actually do find the s59 repeal perfectly sensible and un-remarkable when they understand what it's actually about. the current state of hysteria largely stems from the gross misrepresentation of what the bill's about by the nz msm (now there's something to lament when comparing with what germany has). i have also found that germany in particular is way ahead of us in terms of enlightened attitudes to child-rearing, and social policy in general. i wonder how much of that is attributable to the tragic past and how much of it is thanks to a media environment where genuine public discourse can be had?
