Will you be able to catch up with reporter Matthew Russell Lee booted from UN? https://www.change.org/p/unsg-ban-ki-moon-dsg-jan-eliasson-cdc-edmond-mulet-and-usg-dpi-gallach-we-demand-inner-city-press-be-restored-to-access-to-the-un-as-a-resident-correspondent

Rob, there's a huge difference between National saying the words people like to hear and National actually doing what people want. I'm surprised you think saying the words cuts the mustard. But then again, maybe I'm not surprised.

Hey Rob, Tell me what's wrong with this analysis:
Keytruda
1 year price $250,000
1 year production cost $250
Big Pharma spends more on advertising than research.
Therefore Labour should shut up or take a principled stand rather than currying favour with dying people.
Seems to me when lives are at stake we should be advocating for immediate and rational lifting of copyright on these molecules, along the lines of a Fair Day's Pay For a Fair Day's Work. Remember that Labour principle? -
Have to disagree with you on the intelligence you attribute to the would be strategic voter. Not sure how many voters you talk to but I talk to a lot during campaigning. Huge swathes of people, including some you would expect to understand strategic voting, have no idea. Even some comments in this thread demonstrate that.

He got it. He also got the internet in the Paxman interview as being a two way street. Wonder how many MSM still don't get that properly? BTW in the Paxman interview he said the only thing he collected was art. I've managed to find that he had Tintoretto, Rubens, Gavin Turk and Gilbert & George. Anyone know what else? And given the Turk was he an intellectual postmodernist?

I'm still confused. Is that white thing a feather (lots of OS people have asked me) or is it a fish skeleton?

To those whinging about rate rises:
"It's very popular for people to stand up and say 'let's cut this, let's cut that, let's attack the bureaucrats in the Town Hall',
"People don't actually know what they're talking about."

It's 3 km to our local supermarket. When we set out with a backpack to do some shopping our friends who were staying over nearly fell over with amazement. "You can't walk that far?" For serious loads we use the bike trailer. Too much weight on your back while cycling is uncomfortable and dangerous. And we NEVER cycle in the door zone (another cyclist wiped out recently on Tamaki Drive). And while I have the floor - I think it should be illegal for cyclists to cycle in the door zone. https://kmccready.wordpress.com/2014/12/04/cyclings-death-zone-legislate-against-fools/
