   Sorry everyone I have been dealing with a chicken crisis in Titirangi … post got stuck in the machine ,,,
   1. 1.1

      The chickens are so yesterday. Today it's all about the rats.

         Yeah I am getting to the machete stage with the problem …

            Add em to the wild village flock. 🙂

               They've been doing just fine at adding to themselves all on their own, thank you.

      Could you take out those ducks as well while you were at it?

      I'm sure they're a Kauri dieback vector 🙂
      1. 1.2.1

         Is it the same individual feeding all three animal problems? I have a suspicion it is. But tempting as it may be, I'm not sure the appropriate resolution of that aspect of the issue involves using a machete.

   Winstone First… Gets thrown out of parliament (again) then grandstands by trying to prematurely announce a settlement of the teachers' pay dispute.

   I would have hoped for such a settlement. But now that big-mouth has done his act, I hope that Labour seize their chance: obstruct immediate settlement, cause PPTA to reinstate industrial action threat, and make Winstone look out through a faceful of egg.
   1. 3.1

      His self-centred mouthiness came before the throwing out, not after. And he knows Labour will never do what you suggest. The Nats will love him for it though.
   2. 3.2

      Vote Labour or Green, it is the only way …
      1. 3.2.1

         And make sure Lab+Grn > Nat+NZF.

         Paula Bennett and Shane Jones were looking awfully cosy on breakfast tv.
         1. 3.2.1.1

            the choices of political representation we have are simply slaying me.

            So much representation for so few.
            1. 3.2.1.1.1

               That was even more of a problem under FPP. #MarginalElectorates
               1. 3.2.1.1.1.1

                  I know. But still sometimes it feels just like window dressing. The blue curtain or the green ones..:)
                  1. 3.2.1.1.1.1.1

                     Bring on the venetians. 🙂
                     1. 3.2.1.1.1.1.1.1

                        so true. 🙂

   the need for a shift from a top-down management strategy to a strong human-rights-based approach to small-scale-fisheries management. This call comes in response to the failure of the neo-liberal ‘trickle-down’ approach to management in this sector, via individual transferable quotas (ITQs), to adequately support the realisation of basic human rights, such as food security and sustainable livelihoods…
