I guess they got bored waiting for the police and left anyway without them.
If Robyn had called the police telling them that she feared for her and her companions' safety because a nasty crowd were waiting to lynch them, I don't think they would have had to wait too long.
In the vid, she's sending txts - if she was that threatened wouldn't she keep her cell free to make a 111 call if necessary?
I just don't buy it. Either the police came and decided there was no threat, or they were there and kept a low profile across the street or something, or they weren't called at all and someone is making stuff up. Have any of the media carrying the story called WGTN police to confirm? -
Bugger. I think I'm in love with Craig.

Do these journalists not fact check? That whole article is just repetition of the same "lynch mob" lie, even though that has been proven - on film - to be blatantly false.
Jeeez. :-/

Thank you, Ian and 3410

Thanks, Jacqui - it's a good start. And I've also got the $1.2m the govt is giving the wine industry this year to help it in the US market.
But I might take a break from it now, and go do some dishes in the sunshine. *hic* -
Thanks, Sacha. The lack of transparency is ...errr...blinding.
We really need a public website that lists all lobbyists, and industries receiving tax incentives. How can we have a proper democracy without this info easily accessible to plebs, like moi, who argue on Facebook? I like facts, dammit!

Hey, guys...just wondering if you could lend a hand, please.
I'm discussing this on Facebook here - http://www.facebook.com/Todd.McClay.MP/posts/169630283047469 - and I'm trying to find out more about tax incentives for non-Film industries in NZ to show one commenter that tax incentives are not just for the Film industry (@Petra -- The film industry should receive tax incentives over other industries because why...?). However, my Google Fu is weak on this one, and search results are pretty much all about film. Is there a website out there that breaks down current NZ investment incentives across all industries so I can make my point clear and concise, and with facts an' stuff?

(That Jackson, eh? What has he ever done for us! I mean, apart from the jobs, and the money, and the international recognition, and the tourism, and the skills development, what has Peter Jackson ever done for us, eh?)
lol, don't ever read Yahoo! comments. Here's what one genius thinks about the prospect of Key stepping in:
John Key if Peter Jackson has made millions ripping off NZ and all the other sir this and thats have made millions now lose a bit of cash because actors want their dues tough its nothing to do with you.
Unbelievable, huh?
As for the dishes, I wash my cups in whiskey - kills the bugs - and then rinse them in vodka to get that Good Housekeeping sparkle and shine. For added hygiene, I gargle with gin before sipping on my beer glass. Funnily enough, I love doing the dishes. -
