Re: Sail GP in Lyttelton Harbour, Christchurch, NZ
Were the dolphins in any real danger? This is a truly global event, watched by millions around the world, the exposure for NZ would have been great, especially after the hit our tourism industry has taken over the last 4 years, but all they've managed to do is confirm all the fears would be travell...

Re: NZ Politics Thread
I had NZ$5MM in life cover from around 2005 through to January last year. I was becoming progressively more annoyed with the increasing premiums and was now covered at work, so was always threatening to cancel, much to my wife’s annoyance. Finally realized after the fact that the card the premiums ...

Yeah that's more or less how I'd interpret things too. Whether or not RA/the Rebels are technically or legally in the right, morally I side with Daugunu.

Splitting hairs. They owe him money (reimbursement, not pay, whatever). He's not receiving it. Therefore, why on earth would he put his body on the line and risk injury and concussion for a bottom of the table team in front of an empty stadium for a club that might not even exist next year who can'...

So landlords who bought 20 years ago and have no mortgage are not charging the full rents - i.e. their costs are lower and they are passing this on to tenants. Yeah, right.
