yeah, that's much clearer.

this is a debate that the bill's supporters have decisively lost. This Act of electoral suicide needs to be stopped
ah Weston, there is a good reason why the left doesn't rely on the Herald for its political strategy.
National's polling is apparently...
surely we don't need to even begin on the reasons for relying on this for any kind of useful information whatsoever. i mean really.
the problems associated with only making legislation that's popular aside, far from being lost the tide is rather turning. now that the general public are starting to cotton on to how badly mislead they've been by the msm on this, and the fact that actually National, in association with various ultra-conservative US-backed rightwing fundamentalist churches have also mislead the public on what the bill is actually about, the 'Bill's Opponents" are starting to get decided nervous.
National has nailed its colours to a sinking ship on this one - listen to them start to scream, and watch them get even nastier as they flail about trying to rescue their image.

you can have them all

From Stuff earlier today
The Police have always been obliged to investigate such complaints. Whether they subsequently find the case warrants further attention by way of charges is another story, they are not obliged to do so, they make a judgement based on the allegation's merits. Same before the bill, same after the bill.

The cous cous made me do it, that and a deep seated hatred of Freedom Fries.

because i so love being invaded by fascist super-power states

PA consistently gets the basic dialectic wrong ... course the mischaracterizations and subtle and not so subtle prejudicings of the relevant issues are different every time (it's a moving target of distortion)... the shabby (and always just in one direction) standards of argument at PA are truly a little frightening
<wiping tears from cheeks> and who said there's no such thing as comedy in NZ?
yes you are right Stephen, there really is no reply to your comments other than laughter.
