Speaker: The Government lost the election, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Methinks Ben Mack is playing with the gas flow for dramatic and psychological doubt-inducing purposes as well…
No one else seems to be around so I'll just talk among my selves...
I've been thinking further about this Ben Mack character, I can't decide if he has been misled or is trying to be misleading.... or agent provocateur?
I have to say his 'gas control' is on a par with that other famed proponent - Le Petomane!But so egregiously wrong is he that I'm sure Sean Plunket and Duncan Garner will be vociferously denouncing this fellow 'journalist' as a traitor to his 'adopted country' any day now...
...the University of Canterbury will be taking down his effusive praise for their Journalism course, and Fairfax will be desperately trying to erase his time in Southland from the public record.
The NZ Herald can keep him though - he fits right in there! -
NZ-based ex-RussianTV/Ruptly acolyte (and NZ Herald writer) presents distorted view of NZ to the USA!

This writer has 'history' with Winston-baiting
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11933415Winston Peters is gaslighting the entire country. Sound extreme? If anything, I think it's an understatement, actually.
Methinks Ben Mack is playing with the gas flow for dramatic and psychological doubt-inducing purposes as well...
Let me get this out of the way: I have zero respect for a man who, for decades, has made populist xenophobia his stock-and-trade, and who seems to delight in causing misery for entire groups of people ...
Ah hah the watcher from afar - how long have you been in the country Ben? 2 -3 years?

Legal Beagle: Despite Simon Bridges'…, in reply to izogi,
Surely they are trying to ride the coat tails of Taika Waititi's 'What we do in the shadows'
But Steven Joyce would be merely the 'not-so-slim Shady Finance Minister'! -

Great info graphic
It looks like reverse entropy,
from amorphous to polarised.
or planetary disc formation,
or maybe just 4th of July fireworks... -
Hard News: And so it begins ..., in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Sadly Paddles has been killed in an apparent road accident.
Doubly sadly, Gareth Morgan fails to grasp the finer points of National's 'Dead Cat Strategy'.

Bunters, Toshers and Pure collectors...
Excellent article and expose Clinton.
I've recently been reading about Victorian 'pure collectors'...Pure Collector: Whilst this job may not sound particularly gruesome, what we have here is a classic example of good old fashioned Victorian euphemistic thinking. A pure collector actually collected dog faeces from the streets and sold it on to tanners for use in the leather making process.

Hard News: How harm happens, in reply to Neil,
Under the headline Weed killer and fly spray in home-made synthetic cannabis the actual Police statement was:
Your link has an errant letter at the end, taking it to an 'unfound page window' - try this one:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11894951
It does point the finger at lazy media reporting (and bad headlines) being complicit in spreading misinformation.Newshub has a similar article from earlier in the month:
http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2016/07/black-market-synthetics-laced-with-weed-killer-fly-spray.htmland this __Spinoff __article lays some blame at Bill English's needless victim blaming.

Here's hoping Mallard chastises Nat MP Alistair Scott for swearing allegiance to the Queen and her 'airs and graces' !
