So reading the article it didn't explain part of the judgement. Who were the "primitive barbarians" ? A small partial victory. Hopefully one day it all adds up to something very substantial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi_Parata_v_Bishop_of_Wellington https://nzhistory.govt.nz/the-chief-justice-d...

Good to see.

Why? What are the Russian and Indian sites saying now? Same things as last time? Trump doesn't have any leverage with Putin because Putin knows Trump backs down every time Putin gets on the phone to him. Trump isn't even going to give them directly to Ukraine. He's selling them to Europe and Europe...

Trump chickens out of approving Tomahawks for sale to Ukraine (via Europe) after Putin gives him more sweet nothings via phone call the other day. Trump obviously never intended on sending Tomahawks, he's just trying to create leverage in negotiations. Hopefully Trump is aware that if he sends Toma...

Everyone is expecting the ABs to get pumped - we've got nothing to lose!

I'd like to see Rueben Love get same game time in the first-five position on this tour. We risk having to play him at first-five (for the first time) against the Springboks on the tour next year if either Beaudie or DMac gets injured. This is assuming that R Mounga is not selected for the tour.

Interesting that two of the three test matches in SA are scheduled for JoBurg, with Pretoria and Durban missing out.

On that note ... All the best Canz in your treatment and road to recovery. :thumbup: My wife had breast cancer 4 years ago. She had the full surgery and all the follow up tests have been clear. Until ... last week. There was something unusual in her ultrasound so they sent away for a biopsy. We saw...

Looks quite different from my memories of her. I guess it is just the different hair style to the one we became accustomed to. Looking at the photo, I was surprised that there were only two women in cabinet. Different times then. What year is that photo? I assumed it was 1990 but maybe it was 1996?...

Not going to work. I'll leave you to work out why.

Scottie will turn her.

Who's the lady on the bottom left of the photo? i.e. to the immediate left of Jim Bolger.

RIP Jim Bolger. I always liked him.

They're a mess. I wonder how it will affect their popularity with their supporters. We'll soon find out in the next few polls I guess.

We could threaten her with Sevu Reece if she doesn't call it right.

Let's start with the carrot approach before resorting to the stick.

On the ABXV, while being disappointed that the chance maybe for Pledger to be get a higher level etc, I guess it will give the kid a decent off season, and with a reasonable depth at 9, we can afford to be conservative and take time with him. Pledger is still a pup - his time will come. Super Rugby...

Wishing you all the best. Your post has influenced me to get a full health check up. I don't have any health issues, however it's been about two years since I saw the doctor. And men in our age range, should be seeing a doctor once a year for a check up.

Anyone who follows sport in NZ will likely be aware of the trainwreck that is NZ Netball. About a month ago, Netball NZ in their infinite wisdom, suspended the NZ coach (Noeline Taurua) and coaching group for reasons that remain unclear. My inside source tells me that not a single complaint was made...

:lol: If someone wrote a political sitcom with that line in it, you'd think it was going beyond the realms of reality. Luxon is obviously not reading his briefing papers.

f**king hell, Sevu Reece and Findlay Christie! x( I'd rather have Christie as the reserve halfback over Ratima at this stage. I don't know what you people see in Ratima so far, other than potential. I haven't mentioned Ratima. I have mentioned Preston and would mention Fakatava if asked, but you di...

I'm good with the AB squad for the EOYT. The only selection I would question is Josh Lord over Sam Darry. However, I don't know Darry's health or form status since returning from his shoulder injury. Darry is an excellent player but he seems to be one of those guys who is always getting injured. He...

But how was that number arrived at? It’s significantly less than the median household income. Displaying his usual grasp of policy detail, Christopher Luxon explained, “Well, we chose that. It’s the number that we chose.” :lol: If someone wrote a political sitcom with that line in it, you'd think i...

I'm a terrible citizen when it comes to local politics - in that I very rarely vote and I don't follow local government decisions closely. I guess I shouldn't complain too much about rates increasing, if I don't exercise my democratic voting right at the elections.

Concerns about an AI bubble have been around for a while now. The current situation is sometimes compared to 1999, just prior to the dot.com bubble bursting. According to statistics, anyone holding a growth fund should expect a negative annual return once every 5.9 years anyway. The smartest thing a...

For 25 years, I keep hearing how Northland, eastern Bay of Plenty and the East Coast have disproportionate negative socio-economic statistics compared to other parts of the country.

The new NBA season kicks off on 22 October 2025.

Also was very impressed with Faianganuku, showed a great deal of energy, good to have him in the mix. Carter also is a lock in now surely? Still want to see them give another young speedster a go, Tangitau, Tamoefloau, Harkin, Michael Manson. There's a few good ones worth a crack. I want to see mor...

Well done Broncos. They won the championship the hard way the last 3 weeks with the opposition they had to go through. I don't watch league much these days.
