I am not a lawyer but…….
You know what this means Graeme, so can I say I am glad you are on our side and yes it is all a bit of a dog's breakfast. Both the bill and the formatting.
Still your points are all relevant. -
Excellent work Graeme.

Interesting.
I have in the past seriously thought about investing money through Sharia banks as in theory the sharing of profits rather than charging interest especially in this time of low or even negative interest rates seems a much fairer system. -
It is worth knowing that almost all NZers had a weekend like this, unfortunately less Indian food in my case, though the dumplings with soy dip could have used chilli oil but they were close.
Of course some peoples lives changed for the worse, in the case of one MP mostly Kama catching up from a life badly lived but that is life.
So yes, be kind to the people round you, because you only live once and if you pay in, life pays back.

Legal Beagle: Questions, but no answers,…, in reply to Tom Semmens,
Of course you don’t Tom but let’s not forget that you called for utu against any journalist who didn’t report the news as you saw it a couple of elections back.
There is a word for that!
And one for people who don’t see the hypocrisy of their own statements. -
Tangiwai disaster, I remember discussing it with my father, arguing actually but not what we disagreed on though.
I would have been 4 at the time. -
Thanks Graeme, good to hear some sense on this matter amongst all the bull from both Left and Right.
Question , has anyone in the NZ forces been tried for a War Crime?
Google doesn't say yes but did throw this up
"Date: 29 September 1994 Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Upton to serve on international tribunal investigating war crimes in former Yugoslavia. Includes portrait." -
Speaker: 2017: My mother and her hundred…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Nice,
Or rather, very good. -
Well it doesn't really matter which way you choose to dice the cake, NZ is near the top of the World rankings with regard to anti corruption which is good and the alternative view pushed by the "Standard" and Bomber is bollocks!
Hurrah, unicorns all round. -
Being old enough to remember when Norm Kirk got a decent suit and David Lange did that plus weight loss it is amazing how this still really does work or rather did for them.
Personally I think who ever hung "Angry Andy" around Little's neck did the most to stop him ever making PM.
That plus his default "chase every car" modus operandi but hey he has just short of a year to convince 35% of the voting population that he really has the goods, bring it on.
