Paula Bennett's flip flop after Cam Slater told her to pull her head pretty much shows you where the National Party stands on women actually being self-determining.

The Ryan Dunn gaff on the front page of the Herald paper is pretty hilarious. Especially because the NZ'er is presented as a hero... can't say anyone involved in the Israel/Palestine conflict can be called that.

This is what it's come to. The Herald pilfering Facebook for photos of a dead soldier who never grew up in this country and died punitively reoccupying another, and they mistakenly grab a dead celebrity lookalike. Is it only a matter of time before people's What Disney Princess Are You? quizzes are reported as fact?

http://polity.co.nz/content/regional-roading-omnishambles Uneconomic roads, pork barrel politics and procedure thrown out the window. Truly, the National party is the party of sensible economic management. Also why the gently caress is the Taxpayer Union upset about the $40,000 in special aid for Mojo Mathers to do her job as an elected official but won't bat an eyelid at over $200 million spent on inefficient roads?

Uh, no. They're non-partisan. It says so right on their website!  That said, I see they're protesting the spending of $4,000 a year on a brochure intended to give senior citizens a confidence boost in getting around when they're no longer able to legally drive.

The Ebola outbreak is bad and one of the worst in history. Having said that unless you work in the ministry of health or border security on infectious disease control, or the WHO or even the CDC you don't need to think about it outside of the whole fellow human beings are suffering and dying angle. *Goes and plays Pandemic II again.*

So basically in admitting to the error, the New Zealand Herald also were forced to admit they had been stalking a dead man's Facebook page to steal photos they would presumably use without having to clear with his grieving family because they were 'on the internet' Journalism yo. I actually saw this on Mashable so great job NZ media!

miss_chaos posted:A contemporary classic: http://colincraig.co.nz/ In many ways I feel a bit sorry for Colin Craig. He comes across as fairly relatable and earnestly wants to help NZ. But incredibly naive and with terrible policy ideas. The sort of person you could spend an evening playing board games with but then throw empty soft drink containers at when he starts to talk about economic policy. Maybe if he had some friends do just that to him instead of agreeing with him because he has money we wouldn't be in the situation we are now.

The situation he's in now is getting all the media attention in the world and precisely nothing gained from it so I'm okay with it. Just another minnow who won't influence the final result. Here's hoping I don't eat my words, but I think the media is blowing this election up to be some Game of Thrones type thing and it's really not. I guess National leading in the polls by 30 percent is a pretty boring story. Let's fast forward to the last 7 days already, I can't take any more.

I'm not sure I understand what Fucksack's argument here is. Turei is wearing a coat, scarf and hat so that makes her homeless? Wellington gets stupidly cold at times, so what's unreasonable about her sitting in her own seat doing her loving work while dressed to keep warm? Or is there something else about her that might COLOUR his opinion of her?
