Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to Matthew Poole,
Labour’s choice was the compromise to have the current Act, or to have the Act with account revocation in immediate effect rather than pending an Order-in-Council.
Thanks for pointing it out - it's something I should have known, but didn't.
I don't watch Parliament - you probably guessed that - but maybe will from now on - especially anything being pushed through under urgency. Perhaps I will also have to learn how to tweet, so I can communicate more readily? With those people who are making laws in seeming vacuums? -
Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to Russell Brown,
To clarify - using this description is more for the party as a whole. I've been a Labour voter all my life, apart from a very early foray into Social Credit. Everything lately has made me feel scared for the country, and I'd feel a hell of a lot better if there was some true "feistiness" coming back - I thought Hughes made a few good points which should have had the support of more than just Harawira and Carter from other parties. That Labour voted against the Hughes amendment needs some explaining.

That argument could go either way
A real swinger!

Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to Sacha,
Has Labour said why they didn't support his amendment?
Check their own blog and tell us what you think they're saying. I'm unclear beyond some general mumble about compromise.
A sell-out. Clare Curran can spin it how she likes, but it doesn't work for me. Apologists for them are saying it was the best deal under the circumstances, because if they hadn't worked with the Nats it would have been termination for anyone caught. It doesn't ring true. Yellow-bellied, to my mind. I'm disappointed.

Dear God, that Shanks speech is deeply disturbing.

Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to Sacha,
including voting against Gareth Hughes’s sensible amendment to remove one of the worst features
I heard him on bFM about an hour ago. He's very clear, very forthright, and I believe, will some day be PM. Quite the most intelligent speaker on this subject, from Parliament, so far. But that wouldn't take much doing! He remarked on how much support his speech got via Twitter, which encouraged him, but also that Parliament is behind the times with regard to the internet.
Has Labour said why they didn't support his amendment? I'm thoroughly disappointed about that. What on earth is going on?
