These are bird islands.
Aye! Rejuvenation in the bush is our prerequisite for living in the citee.That is also one of the reasons I believe we must keep our big inner suburb trees here in Auckland and already with change in environment laws, we are seeing blatant disregard. At least the street Tui has returned louder than ever after our year long debacle of ignorant neighbours amongst us.

The kakapo I met in the wild was in Western Southland,
In an op shop one day, found a beautiful 1940's Kauri tray with an etching of a KakaPo. At $1.00 it was a must. Couple of years later a friend visiting from the Far North noticed it and told a tale of his recent discovery on his land of the KakaPo. He was very surprised and keeps in touch with DOC regards this. The tray promptly went to him.

Good day to you too Chris.
Here's something for you -
Like any plants surely the standard "wait 3 days before one can consume",( and this message can be on some pretty powerful type insecticides) would be sufficient to render the plant back in a smokable state. Not that I would consider it. :)

Simply, I think as a democracy, we should be better than that.
That is why we vote and should be aware of our local MP's and use them to voice your opinion or concern, regarding individual situations. Democracy does not make the human race better. Humans can, and choose whether or not to try.I think an understanding that laws try to rehabilitate, and a firm grip on education, must be good, but shades of grey will always exist making each case different to the next from the last. Surely somewhere in the middle is an ideal balance. Our system is specific to NZ not compared to other countries, We are doing the best we can so far eh? I expect to hear you have been lobbying the Government on such issues if your concern is that black and white. Good luck.:)

The Herald on Sunday story was a beat-up and rest assured the Clive team will continue to produce current affairs far beyond the April deadline Damian has conjured up.
Well, with that I hope you served the HOS as well. That there sounded like fighting words!
FWIW I like J.C, just some of the stories aren't always as topical a current affair as I'd wish. e.g. Politics never seem to get the scrutiny they deserve. IMHO. -
it'll just cost a little".
The Veitch case was a high profile media circus that both sides allowed such an abhorrant situation to become such a public display of sadly what carries on even as we chat here. From the Police to the courtroom past the papers and the TV, we got a more open view of domestic violence that is rife and common in NZ. For that, I am saddened that you would think the Judge should have dealt with it differently. Perhaps though, spare a thought that at least it was dealt with eventually and perhaps, just maybe Veitch wont ever do that again.A longer sentence is not a guarantee that to be the case. For you, $150k + may be just a little. For me, Compensation was given and accepted from both parties. Maybe one could allow Dunne Powell the grace of being compensated as she saw fit. naming and shaming was a nasty piece of work by the MSM. Let's also hope that others have taken a message that reporting abuse should always be the first avenue to try.
More jail time is not necessarily the answer Chris no matter how much you think it may be.That is why we put trust in a legal system and have a Judge preside.Oh, and I should have been onto "What would Kyle think"?
And there he is . Look up ^ ;) -
Must have been the word "demographic" in the title.
I reckon it's Chuck Norris. He's out there, NSFW!

because I never knew the man except for the songs,
Same. All I have read above, is deeply moving and your words Graham, brought tears to my eyes. I am sure his parents would be deeply moved also. For Pauly Fuemana, may he R.I.P. For Pauly's Family, my deepest condolences. Two sons too soon. :((

I'm pretty sure it was telling me to buy chocolate fish!
So that's why I keep looking for something sweet. Good thing my sweetie is around. :)
