Duncan Aggrieved, perhaps. Great to see RNZ with so much share, now they're being measured properly. Must be infuriating to the commercial media companies - this is audience ( they can't package up and sell ) that seems to appreciate intelligent comment and it's growing.

Hard News: Hate and guns, in reply to Angela Hart,
Re. NZ gun laws – some time ago when a colleague/friend applied for a license I was interviewed by police seeking my opinion on his suitability, as were others including of course, his wife. Maybe no longer so stringent. Don’t know.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber driver, in reply to BenWilson,

Go figure. Here's an interesting story from The Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/27/how-uber-conquered-london

Now if they could only keep JK out of the changing room. Still, he did seem to get the polite brush off this time, from the little clip I saw.
