The States has the advantage of being able to legalise things in Auckland without consulting Canterbury.

This is a Good Post™ and holy poo poo that would be blissful. Imagine being able to do something without the people of Gore having a cry about it?

Was "The Unauthorised History of New Zealand" any good?

If you like Jeremy Wells and Graeme Hill then yes. It's fantastic.

Graeme Hill never gets any love. He was the main writer for both EML and UHONZ, his weekend show on Radio Live rules and he paid for a huge chunk of Back of the Y out of his own pocket when noone else would give Heath the time of day.

Don Brash is correct.

Max Key should be the next PM, with Leighton Smith as deputy.

Guitar Wolf and Masters of Metal both used to play there all the time and they are awesome and their gigs were awesome and I am sad.

pretty appropriate that the last time I was there it was shut down for being too loud (Windhand)

Uuuugh. gently caress the people that moved near it and would then complain about the noise. It was there well before you were, fuckers.
gently caress people that do that at all. I'm looking at you, people near Western Springs and Eden Park.
(Although I do have sympathy for the people that complained about the PowerStation when it started having dance parties and you would hear doof-doof until 7am instead of dying off at midnight).

I know this ain't the thread for sportsball related things, but if you want a chuckle, read the community page for TVNZ's Commonwealth games coverage: https://www.facebook.com/pg/TVNZCommonwealthGames/community/

People are rightfully pissed.

You've definitely got the right govt to submit it to.

NZ is an amazing country - I prefer Wellington over Auckland, but they're both great cities. The only problem with this place is the cost of living.
Rent is loving high, food is expensive and wages are comparatively low for tech sector jobs (and they're one of the better paid jobs in this place - I honestly have no idea how blue collar workers get by living in the main cities).
I could get off a plane tomorrow and earn double what I am now in Melbourne without much hassle.

Yeah this is where my viewpoint was from. We obviously have a poo poo load of problems, but it is comparatively safe, clean and pleasant.

Chch’s tech industry is smaller but on the other hand I have a 5 minute drive to work.

You also live in a city full of people from Christchurch. I'd rather have a 3 hour car-pool commute in a vehicle with the radio stuck on ZB at full volume than suffer through that.
