Well, he's right. It is full of abuse, anger and ignorance. Just look at Hosking.

This is such a terrible argument for not changing flags. It is the left that has politicized the flag debate. I would have loved to have seen what you would have been saying if Helen Clark had proposed the idea.

Much the same, really. I think the design is awful, a silver fern is equally colonial as the union jack, the colours are dull and uninspiring, and it's all around lovely.

And if you don't think a flag is political, well I don't know what to tell you buddy.

(I'm voting no because I want a crack at a good flag in 20 years)

Ultimately, that's why I'm voting no too. I want a new flag. I just don't want a poo poo one that means nothing and looks like a second rate transport company's logo.

I was under the impression it wasn't so much "Go away and we'll give you money", it was more "Auckland is a shithole and all the state housing here is full, but there are other cities where this is not the case".
It's still not much of a solution, mind.

Yeah, my job is based in Auckland and is unlikely as hell to shift, except maybe from Ellerslie to Penrose.

:smith::hf::smith:
Ellerslie is a bit poo poo. It's one redeeming feature is that it's only 45 minutes bus ride from my house rather than the 80+ that it took to get to Queen Street.

Oh, and there are decent pies to help with my long-term suicide-by-cholesterol attempt.

There are 11 candidates running for my ward, which is a really nice change from last time when Dick Quax and his minion rolled in unopposed. There are actual young people and non-pakeha running!

Pretty much the only thing Howick has going for it is that it's right next to Meadowlands, which has some of the best Asian food in the city. Chongqing Cuisine's pork belly and mushroom noodle soup is the best loving thing.
