US housing is really cheap. Just watch any diy show from the states - people can buy a 4 bedroom house just off sunset boulevard for $450k USD. loving boomers, loving landlords, loving ratepayers' associations. These are also the same selfish cunts who are going to demand bailouts in 20 years when Sth Dunedin, Kilbirnie and lower lying areas of Auckland are abandoned due to rising waters.

About a million NZD (800k USD) for a nice 3 bedroom in a middle class suburb Rotting shacks without electricity literally sell for $1.3million if they're in a desirable innercity suburb. dusty fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jan 19, 2015 |

Minimum wage is ~11USD/hr. Teachers and police earn a little more compared to the US. Definitely better money in Australia - lower living costs, cheaper housing and much higher wages across the board.

Apropos of nothing, has anyone else picked up laudafinem.com? Seems to be run by some nasty ex-NZ(?) lawyer types who are only too happy to breach thorny name-suppression orders, and have recently weighed in on the Matt Bloomfield/Slater brouhaha - makes me wonder if they're being paid to run hit jobs. Also speculation as to who might be being investigated for repeated sexual offending against a young family member.

I feel sorry for the dude @ TV3. Having a family member elected to the house which you cover must be awful. Having this going on, is another level of ghastly altogether. He's not a bad journalist from what I've seen. His interview with Collins was epic.

Vagabundo posted:And speaking of "evidence both ways," I've wondered if people in the legal profession feel that his retrial a few years ago where he was found "not guilty" was, in fact, a fair trial? I remember feeling sceptical of the possibility at the time due to the amount of literature relating to the Bain case that had been published and the frequent coverage that it got from time to time, not to mention that pretty much everyone had a firm belief in his guilt or innocence. Martin Van Beynen's account of the second trial is regarded as the best explanation for what happened. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/opinion/2518912/Plenty-of-doubt-in-Bain-jurys-verdict quote:The verdict surprised me, but should not have. If the case had been put to 10 juries, I believe six would have convicted, two would have acquitted and two would have been unable to reach a decision. Bain won the lottery.

Matty Dentith has written a thing on the pride parade protest. If you're up for a long form piece do read. http://all-embracing.episto.org/2015/02/24/we-are-primed-to-see-a-reflection-on-the-pride-noprideinprisons/ The crux of Dentith's piece is this extract: quote:If the Pride Parade is meant to represent the queer community but makes the space unsafe for sections of that community which are still suffering massive marginalisation and oppression from wider society, then not only is the Pride Parade disingenuous but it also files[sic] in the face of its own history. Which unfortunately for his argument is functionally identical to: quote:If a protest is meant to represent the queer community but makes the space unsafe for sections of that community which are still suffering massive marginalisation and oppression from wider society, then not only is the protest disingenuous but it also files[sic] in the face of its own history.

Comrade Trottersky has also tugged his mustache and shat out a column. And if you know Trooter you know he hates pigs http://thedailyblog.co.nz/2015/02/23/gods-and-monsters-reflections-on-saturdays-auckland-pride-parade/ quote:And later, when I read about the young person whose arm was broken by a security guard for daring to protest against the oxymoronic travesty of soldiers, police officers and jailers celebrating unconventional sexualities, I offered up a silent prayer to the gods and monsters of perversity and resistance: the ones who embolden rebels and keep the authorities off-balance. Among that gawking and guffawing crowd, they’d reassured me, there was at least one human-being who still knew how to say: “No!” fong posted:Seems to me like police and DOC officers being invited to march in a parade that celebrates the rights of queer people is a good place for a protest on these issues. Dusty disagrees because he's afraid of SJWs and has issues with women. The social media freakout has been hilarious though - people piling those who gave eye witness accounts cause they're only gay and white and therefore the enemy. dusty fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Via @realstevegrey [pro follow imho] Express has just published some click bait accusing the pride march protest group of being awful. What could worse than harassing participants of a pride march and fighting with security? Bullying. http://www.gayexpress.co.nz/2015/02/bullying-victim-of-pride-protest-group-i-was-close-to-suicide/ There's a fair amount of People's Front of Judea in there, and the comments are a cluster of criticism with suggestion that various privileges should be checked. You have been warned. Interesting though to see Express pick a side here. The outrage runs deep. dusty fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Feb 26, 2015 |

Disagree. He's a magically charming oval office. No one comes close - last person who made Kiwis love him so hard was Muldoon, who alienated the other half. Key's keynote at a major union conference in 09 was amazing, the room didn't quite cheer him, but a vast majority of delegates really genuinely warmed to him. Never seen anything like it. Magical oval office. --\ I feel guilty whenever I meet Jacinda. I've known her for years but I see her so seldom and I can't help but realtalk about the failures and losers in the party. She's a really nice person and she's definitely not dumb. It must be hard for her to go to work in the morning knowing that Trevor Mallard is singlehandedly knocking a couple of percentage points of the party's polling. Knowing that Chris Hipkins is doing the numbers again. The last thing she'd want is someone like me telling her why I didn't vote for the party again.

There's a lot of concern trolling regarding how awfully racist it is to prevent dangerous tourists from driving. I think it's because most urban handwringers don't understand how many tourist drivers there are in some parts of the south is, and how dangerous those roads make them. A majority of road traffic in some places is tourist traffic - Nth Islanders are lucky to encounter more than a handful of tourist vehicles on the Desert Rd. And there are no traffic cops - there's something like 4 full time frontline staff working between Motueka and Wanaka. Most tourists wont even see a police car on the drive.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:I lived in Taupo most of my life, the place that whenever there was a big event (like "summer") the population tripled. I'm pretty sure I know what lovely tourist drivers are like. Sure, but those huge tourist numbers in Taupo get watered down by the large population of awful kiwi drivers and compensated with relatively decent roading. Subtract 90% of the local population, narrow the lanes to about 1/3rd of North Island motorways and double the number of campervans - welcome to the West Coast.
