  • Hard News: How do you sleep?,

    When I do tai chi regularly sleep, or broken sleep, is not a problem. When I meditate daily, I sleep better: more fully and it’s restorative rather than a coma. I’m undisciplined and both of those practices come and go.

    The earthquakes have not helped: spent two years waking up. One incredibly useful remedy was “sleep juice”: Dolphin Clinic Tranquil Sleep aromatherapy essential oil. A few drops on your pillow and sleep assured: though as beloved says it smells like a 1970s North Beach whorehouse. Got us all enough sleep often enough to cope with 13,000 aftershocks, many of them centred within 2km of our beds.

    Sleep patterns change with age and I regret not fully appreciating my until-50 years of easy sleeping.

  • Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Richard Aston,

    How to change male misogyny culture without more blaming and shaming is what is challenging me to act...How to encourage respect and caring for women and also acknowledge the beautiful wildness of sexuality. How to find this balance and a pathway into the male psyche to awaken that deep respect.

    :-)

    Y’can bet they didn’t write that apology themselves. Until the end of the year: not good enough. Hire some people with a shred of human feeling and decency rather than these two Neanderthals.T and J have slid lazily into being a pair of mouths our national discourse could well do without.

    Good on you for making your point on air. Listening to the clip, I know who I believe. (and I'm another who finds plenty to debate in many of your political views).

    And it's fantastic that, being a right-point-of-view commentator, you have broken this whole rape culture issue out of the left and right ghettos into the question of basic human rights. If the descriptions Maori, black or Asian for instance were substituted for 'teenage girls', abhorrence of the statements made would be near-universal.

    But the actual rapists are still rapists. Just sayin’.

    Yep true. The enabling and supporting of the rapists: what’s that? Why weren't these rapists called out by their friends, parents, teachers, rellies? Just sayin’.
