Yeah it's like the Amway of self-help.

Our new Health Minister started an anti-abortion club when he was at Uni and voted against banning anti-gay conversion therapy. I mean yours is worse, but FFS.

You know I was. I worked at sound of music on the main street and sold you My Bloody Valentine CDs

Haha have just found this part of the thread!

Was never part of Subtronix (that was Andy Pickering, Dave Roper and later Geoff Presha). But I did work at Sound of Music, at the same time Johnny Shihad as we called him then, worked at a CD shop in Manners Mall (HMV?) - my gf would take me in so she could swoon at him.

Fireworks for a rainy day :)

I've literally been setting off ones I bought last year, back when times were good :)

Maybe they consider them 'special' in the other sense of the word.

As I say, I saw on numerous occasions Luxon and Willis being taken to task about their numbers - Jack Tame on Q+A for instance - so I take issue with "completely failed". Not saying they could've have done more.

We just need Paddy on the case.

I mean, a lot of was pretty obvious, and much came out in the media (like the tax cut costings being BS) but people voted for it anyway. I'm not sure the media hold that much responsibility vs the people who actually voted.

Sorry to say but my experience with a lot of the other side has concluded the same thing. People who are super into politics generally don't have the time or willingness to lose control to dedicate to proper partying. There are exceptions, but I won't name them here.

It's bad enough that I was considering Wellington for our climate-future home given it seems to have given it an amazing summer while we had floods... but Hamilton?

I mean it's true that some electorate seats might've gone a different way, but it makes no difference to how many seats they end up with overall.

Either that or he knows how to solve worldwide inflation.
