Legal Beagle: Gordon Campbell…, in reply to philipmatthews,
I agree with Mick. Why not just put these complaints in the comments at Scoop?
I would have if it was just one mistake. Stuff like that happens. It was the multiple errors on the same point that had me exercised in this case.

Hard News: Fluency, ease of manner - and…, in reply to Glenn Pearce,
Timing wise, could it be worse having an off game just as the new ownership starts to take shape?
Yes. New owners will probably care how well he rates, and how much his advertising sells for, not how much good his questions are.

Hard News: Fluency, ease of manner - and…, in reply to The Ruminator,
This is the best nuanced analysis of the interview I've seen so far. Ka pai.
You appear to imply that there is a better, albeit non-nuanced, analysis of the interview. Link⸮

Hard News: The GCSB Bill: We at least…, in reply to Ross Mason,
Key says the 88 cases the GCSB did under the “old law” was on nine people. Only nine????? Hmmm…seems an awful lot of people following the few.
Nine people per year.

Legal Beagle: Gordon Campbell…, in reply to James Butler,
I call dibs on this gag.

Those wondering about the title of this article, probably haven't read the Twitter account that has been set up for Gordon, presumably by someone from Scoop.

Hard News: A handful of battling billionaires, in reply to Russell Brown,
As odious as Murdoch might be, he’s nowhere near the Koch brothers.

Up Front: Everyone is Wrong. And Right. Whatever., in reply to George Darroch,
Nobody remembers the 1976 Olympic Boycott. Almost nobody at all. 28 countries boycotted that Olympic Games, because NZ maintained sporting links with apartheid South Africa. 28 countries.
I remember it. In the sense that I know about it. The 1976 Olympic Boycott happened during my Dad's OE. You know that story of American's overseas pretending they're Canadian? It might have been wise for New Zealanders at that time/place to pretend they were Australian.

Hard News: It's worse than you think, in reply to Idiot Savant,
Or, to put it another way: they defamed him. Though I’m sure they have legal protection for that, even when they do it knowingly and with malice as in this case.
Malice would defeat any defence they had.

(Counter Terrorism Bill 2003, if you don’t give them your encryption keys, they send you to jail)
Section 130 of the Search and Surveillance Act is not the terrorism act. It is a law which applies to all imprisonable offences.
