Ellerslie? Try the Hop and Grape around the corner. It also has cheap single malt and artisanal cachaca.
It's just about getting warm enough for caipirinhas...
I have to stay sober until later in the evening and you lot are making me feel awfully jealous. It's well past beer o'clock.

From Stuff today:
"Police Association president Greg O'Connor said much of the criticism of police has been outrageous and unbalanced and is coming from entirely predictable quarters, such as politicians seeking airtime and those subjected to the searches."
Gosh yes, who would listen to complaints from people subjected to searches? How could they have anything relevant to say about police conduct?

I'm betting even odds that the scrawl was a copper in the back of the car, and then a 15 minute wait around the corner to make it look like they'd seen a judge.
And forgetting to put the name on it (the copper or the judge). I dunno if it's legal, but it's embarrassing.
Paging Mr Edgeler!
What are the legal consequences of a police search with an invalid warrant? Would that be a cause of action for the owners or tenants of the property?
And what can you do if you think a warrant is dodgy?

(But I am very impressed at Daleaway's spadework.)

In 1900 how many Pakeha, especially native born, would have seen a lion? I see no reason to find his use of the lion imagery strange. Even in Kenana's boyhood there had been decades of Pakeha settlement and religion.

"Anti-terror" is really begging the question at this point.

It's not apparent, that is the reason. I've met him and I would be very, very surprised if he were up to anything nefarious.
So you can get your house turned over and your gear confiscated because someone else who lives there is an associate of a 3rd party. Nice. And if there hadn't been a fuss because of the Green connections? I bet those computers would still be with the police.

I'm not sure about the veracity of this statement (as in, I just genuinely don't know what the facts are)
The chap whose house was searched and PC's seized in Taupo said the officers were in blue with flak jackets. But not AOS. I'd call that a fact.
No doubt the police would say they weren't expecting to meet armed resistance there.

Did you hear Derek Fox on Nine to Noon this morning? Not as strong as Sharples, but pretty dismissive of the police nonetheless. And making some good points.
