Link Love

  1. Te Ara now has an elections and parties portal.  Also a blog post by Nigel Roberts on some of the better material there.
  2. NZ on Screen has also put together a politics collection. They have the David Frost interview with Norman Kirk, the 1987 John Key documentary, the Revolution series, The documentary on Governor George Grey, the 1984 leaders debate, Bob Jones punching Rod Vaughan, McPhail and Gadsby and much much more. I could spend days here.
  3. A NZ Supreme Court blog. The latest blog post is by former Appeal Court Justice Ted Thomas. There’s an interesting analysis of the Chief Justice’s views on police powers. Also worth reading this post by Jeff Simpson where he describes the CJ as having acted in a kneejerk fashion.
  4. The official Hobbit blog. Lots of photos of the set, videos etc.
