Hard News: Unwarranted risk, in reply to Rob Stowell,
Do we still lead the world in following unvarnished neo-liberal ideology?
When it comes to neolib policies we're certainly "punching above our weight."

Len Brown can blame the supercity structure he inherited as mayor for his inaction, but he could still show some leadership on this issue. He has a voice.

Hard News: Last Words, in reply to Kyhwana,
Sadly, I think it's illegal to do that. You can't try to get people to vote or even tell them NOT to vote! (For anyone!)
I won't be doing either of those things. All we'll be doing is telling people that if they haven't voted yet we'd be happy to take them down to the polling booth. It's perfectly legal, and Labour does it every election.
For some people, like the elderly or infirm, it's often the only way they can get out of the house to vote.

Gee, it has been a while since I posted here. I can attach stuff to my comment now.

I will be spending the entire day knocking on doors and asking people politely if they have voted and whether they would like a lift to the polling booth. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?
I will be voting for Team Red. I like the Greens, and I think a Labour/Greens government would do wonders for the country. But I still see Labour as the main party of the left, and once they’ve sorted some of their shit out I think they will return stronger than before.
I’m also motivated by the fact that where I live in Te Atatu the National candidate is worse than useless, and the Labour one Phil Twyford is excellent. Twyford’s in danger of losing his list seat if Labour bombs badly and if he doesn’t win the electorate, so there will be a big contingent in Te Atatu fighting hard on the day.

Just got back now from a lunch event at The Cloud. I can confirm it is much more impressive on the inside than it looks from the exterior.

Field Theory: It's not yours, but you…, in reply to George Darroch,
The first company populated by upstanding white New Zealanders with intellectual property lawyers to sell gulab jamun or bal mithai under those names gets their name. Forever.
Could you just confirm that spelling for me please? Just want to make sure I get the details right in my trade mark application.
-
I am also outraged by this story.
But primarily because you used the term "trademark", rather than the correct term "trade mark".
Luckily I already have my coat in hand and am already halfway to the door.

Legal Beagle: Asking the next question, in reply to Idiot Savant,
I don't understand. Why is a draft that no-one actually signed important?
The fact that you find it strange how someone could be legally bound by something they never saw, never signed and in any case couldn’t read just goes to show how much damage the Maori radicals have done to this country.
-
My question would be this: Which version of the Treaty of Waitangi are you relying upon when trying to justify your "one law for all" policy? The one in Maori that most chiefs signed, or the English one? And did you also bother to read Articles I and II of the Treaty?
Okay, so that's technically three questions...
