So the government has avoided alienating its voter base and got the reserve bank to do its bidding on housing. Ah well, at least it's something?

They know where I sit on the political spectrum and it is vastly different to the overwhelming majority of the people I work with. Doesn't make them bad people, in fact many I would call my friends and they accept me for who I am as I do with them, despite our mutual disagreements. Sometimes they forget that I am one of those people when they talk to me about how the dam is going to save the region, and that free trade prevents conflict and pushes everyone up etc., and a tough line on crime and justice will fix whatever they think is currently wrong with society. that's when I speak up. Saying that jk is a good bloke isn't really worth my time now, other than for me to counter with that he is actually a dork. I make noise whenever something on the Neo Lib poo poo train fucks up, but with no credible alternative on offer what can one preach?

Nice reminder that John Walker only won gold at the '76 Olympics because of our tacit support for apartheid

Please stop eroding my illusion that NZ shattered apartheid by a unanimous protest movement. It was around the time we saved the whales by stopping the Americans from nuking the russkies in the pacific atolls.

Well actually of that long list the whales were actually saved. The numbers are still really low but they're increasing, and only because of those hippie protest movements

Every takeout place delivers if you call up and offer the minimum wage worker answering the phone enough to bring it to you.
If it comes to that you really should take a look at your life and culinary choices.

Sounds about right. It was a weird time where alot of KFCs and a Pizza Huts was co-located. Delivered pizzas already so why not deliver KFC with the same drivers. I didn't keep up on what happened to that experiment, but I am guessing having to cook two very different menus was a nightmare that couldn't be fixed by throwing minimum wage at it.
