Story about the NZ SAS being involved in the recent Kabul shootout.
Specifically:
This appears to contradict the Government's line that the SAS soldiers provided operational advice, but did not directly engage with the insurgents...

what are the journalists of the NZ media doing missing this story?
Not missing; just late. :)
@Rich,
Which insignificant tidbit? -
Surely the huge crowds on Friday were more to do with the biggest fireworks display ever seen in the country rather than people desperate to see a rugby match on a big screen?
I'm going to suggest it has something to do with One News' six-month-long daily countdown, making the first day of the competition seem like the Most. Important. Day. Evah.

I find myself wondering why there (presumably) weren't any Police on the trains.
-
the mess, which is imploding (I still can't really figure out why, since it's not like anything at all disastrous of note actually fucking happened).
Chokers.

it seems to me that he's also saying that the whole thing could have been avoided, and that the mess was a result of planning.
It was a radio interview. APNZ's slapdash transcription efforts are the likely culprit.

Over at Wynyard Quarter, I watched the waka fleet come in, from the balcony of the Viaduct Events Centre. It was something I suspect I'll never see again.
Yeah, I was thinking that while watching Te Karere cut away from that majestic sight to talking heads in the studio, then to a pre-taped story, then to an on-the-spot piece to camera...
Just... why?
