  • Hard News: Debating Clydesdale,

    Tom -I'm not sure his career is secure, it seems to read like a bit of a clanger

    His track record on Chinese & Indian immigrants is rather telling.

    Looks like Massey is really interested in immigration, so Clydesdale might be trying to be relevant in the context of Massey?

    Immigration write ups on pg 10

    A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

    I'm not hassling your name, just a little clarity as to your official position which may add some colour to your comments.

    I declare my interests - problem is I don't have many official positions & none relating to this topic.

  • OnPoint: Bandwagon Hobos,

    Cereals are an odd diet, nuts & grains in a cold milk soup. Mr Kellog had a few odd ideas - some great ones too - but some very odd & distasteful ones. If you are what you eat he was equal parts nuts & a (corn)flake :-)

    I want to see the maketers get us to take yogurt this way.

    Stay strong Sofie, a friend has just gone through that and is onto radio (?) treatment now.

    Kyle - that's is: commercial QMS; now outlawed small commercial <$10000 not allowed quota; subsistence has no legal status; & recreational (including tour boats = commercial in my book).

    Re Fish & Quota.

    The only quota that works in NZ is the Community Quota of the Chatham Islands rather than the criminal Individual Transferable Sytem we run for the rest of NZ.

    The $10000 minimum to claim any quota wiped out the smaller and more sustainable seasonal fishers (read Maori/seasonal labourers).

    You can't buy locally caught fish at any resturant on Waiheke Is. it's all caught there, processd in Nth AKL, trucked to Sth AKL, and ferried back to Waiheke Is. - simple & efficient - Not.

    Subsistence fishers have no provision under our fishing regeime - so flicking a line in the sea isn't quite as simple as it once was.

  • Hard News: Friday Fun,

    Pfleger is fantastic & Wright was right.

    I love these guys. I haven't seen any hate from either of them, enthusiastic proponents of another point of view, but not hate.

    Jackie - "we take ourselves off like the social pariahs we are, and it doesn't affect our behaviour "

    You've just taken yourself away - smoking therefore affects your behaviour.

    But yes I know - apart from when trying to give up, or on long distant flights, smokers are quite sane people.
