• Hard News: An open thread while I'm down…, 16:57 Aug 2, 2011

  Or why the voting public appears somewhat to like the Labour Party's policy -- and to freakin' hate the idea of further asset sales -- but will nonethless be voting for that nice Mr Key later this year.

  I think 2011 is a lost cause, Jonkey hasn't pissed off enough people yet and can still blame the old Labour government for problems. Policy isn't enough when the tide hasn't turned. Hammering away at asset sales and cuddling up with ACT is the way to lay the foundations for 2014. My big pick is more parties taking up green policies which are no longer radical in much of the world.

• Field Theory: All Blacks v South Africa…, 16:45 Aug 2, 2011

  I was at the game with my boy. Out takes were
  - Dan Carter was pretty ordinary, field kicking and goal kicking both poor and there wasn't much wind. Running and passing was good. I am a bit worried.
  - Cory Jane's 30 (or 50) meter try the highlight
  - Andrew Hore, everywhere and smiling
  - Richie, best game I have seen from him this year, a big relief
  - Piri, showed up Jimmy C on passing speed and little kicks
  - SBW didn't do much
  - I don't recall a pick and go - is that now gone or on ice for the Aussies?
  - Food and drink at the cake tin are awful

  Overall, they played well, but SA missed a lot of tackles and were quite naive on defense and blowing hard in teh last 30 mins
