Already signed David but your post will draw attention to this petition, which I believe is a good thing. Yes, it is annoying to be paying the Herald to run the Ad but this is genuine grassroots, it is non partisan, it represents the voice of the people who freely choose to sign it. Let the pollies ignore us at their peril!
On another note my thoughts are often with Harold. I hope someone's taking food parcels!

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Hilary Stace,
A lot has happened in the last 4 weeks!
yup, and we need to keep the pressure on, there's no way forward unless the dirt is cleaned out. But the Ad and protest are both good signs. Let's hope it doesn't take too long, 'cause it has to happen.

Speaker: Vote for Water, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Figure out what you want ideologically then let experts get the data and use that data to define how to achieve your ideology or, much harder, to redefine your ideology if the data show it to be flawed.
With dirty politics, any time there's an evidence based need to change, it will be criticised (you don't know what you want, got it wrong etc) whereas failing to adapt to and learn from mistakes is just plain stupid (and expensive).
I totally agree with Hilary, the Nats' strategy is to oversimplify, distract and lock out from the real decision making.

That's good to know. Is data on view number available to users like me?

Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Dismal Soyanz,
Whoever is in charge of their website is doing some good stuff. I liked this.
Me too, it's what we need a lot more of and it should be boldly displayed.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to simon g,
Well, there's a big story right here, though so far only Felix Marwick (Newstalk ZB) seems to be onto it ...

Ombudsman responding by the end of "next week" (which is now this week, if you follow). It's important, because this is the only official action before polling day, the rest has been kicked for touch.
Thanks Simon, that would be Friday, this response will be interesting indeed.
