Polity: Political strategy and Canada’s NDP, in reply to Cecelia,
bugger the centre.
Arguably, the centre is already buggered...bring on the change!

Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Steve Barnes,
FFS!
There again, on the other hand, the whole bloody Christchurch thing has been a joke.
And a sad and twisted one at that.
MOBIE...useless twerps.

And this...http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/72430808/neighbour-disputes-an-ageold-problem...
The article describes a case in WA where an organic farmer lost his certification because his neighbour's GM crop contaminated his property.
Surely against the 'rules'?
But no...
The Court ruled against the organic farmer, and said "that the farmer could not, by putting their land to an abnormally sensitive use thereby unilaterally enlarge their own rights and impose limitations on the operations of their neighbours to an extent greater than would otherwise be the case".
Progress...don't ya'll just love It???

Hard News: On youthful indiscretions, in reply to linger,
by being accused of sticking any part of his anatomy
Hah!
Many years ago, back in the late seventies, one of the varsity mags printed a cartoon depicting a 'lady of the night' pointing to the Prime Minister's member and marveling how he managed to 'screw the entire country with that!'.
Ah! Those were the days....

Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Russell Brown,
Urgh.
An appropriately Neanderthal response.
Back to your cave Mr Garrett!

Meanwhile, over in the righteous space, they too are discussing 'loopy rules'.
http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2015/09/the_loopy_rules_report.html#comments
And bugger me dead if a couple of the righteous ain't trying to make this about having to accommodate the pesky disabled.
This disabled access, and toilets for the disabled has to be the biggest load of shit in the past 20-30 years, and that’s saying something.
A little straw poll: who here has EVER seen a person in a wheelchair entering or leaving a public toilet? I have never seen one, ever.
How many people have seen a person in a wheelchair “accessing” [we used to just “go into”] a building? In my dim dark memory banks I think I might have seen one, once.
Well hallebleedinglujah Mr Garrett et al....

Did Douglas know???
Bubbling up from the dim recesses this morning was the memory of this....
http://www.hhgproject.org/entries/shareandenjoy.html
The motto stands - or rather stood - in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax - "Share and Enjoy". Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the underground offices of many talented young complaints executives - now deceased. The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read "Go stick your head in a pig", and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.
Now, all sing along....http://www.hhgproject.org/media/Share_and_Enjoy.mp3

Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Kumara Republic,
She is believed to be a qualified carpenter ...
(from your link)
She was, in fact, one of the poster girls for a 'girls can do anything' campaign....

Almost tempts me to google the other 'go girls' to see where their careers went...

Hard News: The positive option of Red Peak, in reply to Rebecca Williams,
My five year old son
From the 'out of the mouths of the sucklings' file.. one of my offspring sees the whole flag changing thing as akin to painting the mailbox while the termites are eating the house.
