    I’m pretty much with Nandor on Keith Locke’s Head of State Bill – there are wider and more important constitutional issues than just who the Head of State is that we need to debate.

    I think you will find that most Greens agree with Nandor on this – but at least Keith’s Bill (which I understand is a conscience issue for the Green MPs) will help to get that debate started.

    I thought the old telecom logo was quite good – I figured green represents the land, blue represents the sea, and the yellow is Telecom pissing on all of it from the heavens.

    The piece on the splintering of the Greens on Bryce Edward’s blog, http://www.liberation.org.nz, is in fact by myself. I occasionally do guest blogs on Bryce’s site. For those kiwiblog readers who may be interested, late last year I wrote a piece on the relationship between the Greens and the left in NZ titled, ‘The Greens and their left-wing friends’.
