I asked that a while ago. From memory the ‘evidence’ was a link to Fat Cambo.

Let the record show that Gabby is wrong.

<blockquote<I was There – Helen Clark and Phil Goff [26 May 2008]
In May 2008 a blogger offered the following view of the actions of the protesters and put their actions into a more up-to-date context: "Vietnam Vets are to finally get an apology on Wednesday. The apology will be given at parliament. There is a certain amount of irony attached to this apology as it will be [Prime Minister Helen] Clark who will give it and sitting on the front bench near her will be [Defence Minister] Phil Goff, both members [check ?] of the Communist funded Progressive Youth Movement in 1971.

Quote: "Prime Minister Helen Clark says the apology will recognise the veterans were not treated fairly on their return to New Zealand after the war in Vietnam."

[Clark and Goff] were front and centre on [14] May 1971 when 161 Bty RNZA marched down Queen Street after returning from Vietnam. They physically disrupted that parade, by throwing paint over the members of 161 Bty RNZA, throwing themselves in front of moving vehicles, screaming ‘baby killers’ and setting fire to baby prams and wheeling them into the parade. They were lucky that our troops have more discipline than long haired communist louts like Clark and Goff at the time. The irony is mostly because it is people like Clark and Goff who treated these brave soldiers so appallingly in the first place that warrants an apology now. It better be good Clark, it better be good."

Jeepers, why does GD always go to the dogs after dark?
Name calling and derisive comments and such.

Well looking at the date it is two nights until the FULL MOON, so the daytime wankers are just missing out on the night time wankers.
Friday will be a cracker for trolling (hey, on my boat of course)

Things go from bad to worse for Angry Andrew:

Scenic Hotel Group founders Earl and Lani Hagaman are considering legal action over Labour leader Andrew Little’s claims about the timing of a donation from Mr Hagaman to the National Party a month before the hotel group was awarded a contract in Niue.
…
The couple were also considering other legal options to address Mr Little’s attack.

“I can assure the public that for us the only thing that will ‘stink to the high heavens’ will be smell of roses which blossom from the fertiliser Andrew Little likes to spread around to gain his own notoriety.”

That reminds me – I need to stock up on popcorn.

Saudi Arabia is raising $10bn from a consortium of global banks as the kingdom embarks on its first international debt issuance in 25 years to counter dwindling oil revenues and reserves.

Finance Minister Bill English appears to be seeking greater influence over the Reserve Bank governor, requesting discussions about Graeme Wheeler’s performance from “time to time” with the central bank’s chair.

Documents released under the Official Information Act, show English has been preparing to send the first ever letter of expectations to Reserve Bank chairman, Dr Rod Carr.

As well as demanding greater clarity from the board about the way it was monitoring its performance, English said he wished to also talk about the performance of the governor.

Long overdue. As is the chasing of ghosts in inflation.

A million mobile phone numbers have been ported since it became possible to move between mobile phone companies without changing your number in 2007.

The milestone appears to have disproved doubters who originally questioned whether the $100 million cost of mobile number portability would prove worth it.

BY THE NUMBERS

9900 – the average number of mobile numbers now ported in a month.
8803 – the average number of fixed local numbers now ported in a month.
5.3 million – the number of mobile connections in NZ as at June 2014.
1.85 million – the number of fixed line connections as at June 2014).
$100 million – the estimated cost of implementing number portability.

Are you retarded?
TVNZ is not a government department; nor did it give away a trip. Didn’t you see the bit about that being done by the hotel and the travel agent?

So some ‘experienced motorcyclist’ down south overtakes a truck on his classic motorbike when a ram darts out ‘like a bullet’ and turfs him over the handlebars.
He’s now in a battle with the ram’s owner over the $5000 damage to his bike and the fact that as a self-employed builder he can’t work for a month.
I lost interest at the point when he said that he wasn’t insured.

Nasska:

More horrors await us:

1. The Standard expands its reach to become KiwiInternet and all ISPs (other than KiwiInternet) are banned.
2. LPrent becomes KiwiInternet chairman and Micky Savage becomes deputy chairman.
3. All blogs (other than The Standard) are banned.
4. All off-topic comments at The Standard (as determined by LPrent and his merry band of moderators) will be deleted and the relevant person will be required to attend a Labour Loves You session.

Mikenmild – mind your tongue sonny.
There’s a fine line between soe and government department imo. Either way, my tax helps run it.
I didn’t see the entire Fair Go episode but I did hear a TVNZ employee say he would put the matter right.

So you didn’t watch it. I’ll explain it – don’t worry, I’ll try to use simple words.
Fair Go ran a story about a woman who won a ‘trip’ to Rarotonga through the TVNZ Good Morning show. There was a catch – the trip did not include airfares. The Good Morning show shut down shortly thereafter and did not respond to emails. The Rarotongan resort had the wrong email for the winner. TVNZ undertook to sort it out. The travel agent and the resort fixed it all up.

This can’t be right – a public sector manager would never talk like this.

I’d expect you to say something like “That cultural training session was intense and the workplace safety committee was hardgoing. You’re tired and I’m concerned about your welfare. Let’s go out for a long lunch”.

Learned it all from Sir Humphrey Appleby:

Notwithstanding the fact that your proposal could conceivably encompass certain concomitant benefits of a marginal and peripheral relevance, there is a countervailing consideration of infinitely superior magnitude involving your personal complicity and corroborative malfeasance, with a consequence that the taint and stigma of your former associations and diversions could irredeemably and irretrievably invalidate your position and culminate in public revelations and recriminations of a profoundly embarrassing and ultimately indefensible character.
