    I bet 99% of bookings are obviously innocuous corporate gigs, social functions, and the like, which would require minimal labour to approve.

    So can the lot, as some of us could have a problem with corporate gigs for a start!

    @ Gio

    Isn't that what every other museum in the world does?

    I was in the Science Museum in London and there was a magnificent exhibition right next to the Fiat Bambino (and other cars) that caught my interest. Of course this was considered a necessary part of this Science Museum and I immediately knew what this was ( I like to think I am read at least).However, the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy does not seem to be considered factual history,vetted for suitability, so not every other museum in the world I suspect.

    At which point Craig and I will stage a minimalist performance worthy of Steve Reich in which our heads impact our desks in a rhythm out of phase with each other, producing aesthetically interesting patterns of sound.

    So was it you 2 that bought down building 7? :)

  • Hard News: So-called celebrity justice,

    Isn't the SIS just a very expensive agency for the passing on of gossip?

    I did think it was gossip for the benefit of our country, but now you mention it, maybe we could have John Key for Judge, jury and executioner. he did campaign on more transparency. ;)

    But what exactly should we take from his observation that the fact he was told the man's name shows suppression orders don't work?

    If it was a SIS problem, I could understand his knowledge and would have no problem with that. I presume his being told, wasn't in the interest of national security, so I take from his admittance that, he has been gossiped to and that suppression should be respected moreso. I feel we need to respect a Judges decision to suppress because that is part of their job and they are supposed to be the expert in their field. To change this is just another slide toward 3 strikes...
    If the judge is questionable then there are already avenues for that. Let it be.

    an inherently democratic privilege.

    Yes, but ignorance is no defence, so calling it is well within the rules of necessary behaviour, no? Those who joined in to highlight this fact deserves the gold star today. :)

    "Bring back Dancing with the Stars" :)))
    "My arms are tired" was good also.
    I think this march has shown us the best thing John Key has done since entering Parliament and becoming PM. Nothing.
