  1. @Bomber. Your mate Damien G (bless his cotton socks) has an opinion piece on Stuff:

    It’s fairly accurate – except when it gets to
    “Wellington is returning to its traditional role of guiding not only the economic levers of the nation, but is actively seeking to direct the cultural direction of those who reside within its jurisdiction. And for most of us this feels right.”
    It may be doing its best to return to that “traditional role” but I’m not so sure that for a growing number of people “this feels right”. It’s probably more to do with the fact that it’s all they know or are prepared to experience (BAU)

    and the bloody CIAL CEO calls himself “courageous”. (I bet he genuinely believes it too – in a Trump sort of way)
