Unfortunately Chuck while Collins wears a skirt that will never happen. Its justice a lawyers way not natural and proper justice. They are hitched to the adversarial mindset in a court rather than one of establishing the truth.
Coronial inquiries are the opposite. They are about establishing the truth.
So unless there is a body the truth is in the eyes of the lawyers and the Judge.

Just as police prosecutors should be independent of the Police.
And they shouldn’t be Prime Ministers. Wrong skillset.

Why does it take six months to wring a decision out of the Court of Appeal? Someone needs to put a rocket up those overpaid slugs.
(Figuratively speaking, of course)

The silver lining to that dark cloud is that young man might have learned to value his family more.

And should you be reimbursed if you have been duped?

I look nothing like my dad’s side of the family….hmmm.

No, I don’t see it as a moral dilemma. He hasn’t hunted anything endangered and it is his property to dispose of as he chooses. Just as it is somebody else’s right to respond with their view on the matter and his to mock them.

Personally, I’d love a giraffe rug if I had the room for it.

Edit: Growing up in Africa, I don’t remember thinking of a Giraffe as a cow. It was on the other side of the “acceptable to eat” line. But, once you start travelling and see what they do with dogs in Asia, Capibara in South America, etc. you realise that different people see it differently. The only way a person from a Westernised country would look on it funny is because they’ve not seen anything outside the way they’ve been brought up, no?

Yes it should only be on a reasonable sum eg $100
Anything under that and it will cost more to collect.
But the COLwould think that was great

It will be interesting to see how many of them bother to comply.

When Aus implemented their Amazon tax, Amazon only allowed Australians to buy from the Aussie version; thus killing the wide range of products. I don’t know if that’s changed or not.

I can see many retailers either ignoring the mandate or simply culling the ability for NZers to buy. It might be wise to invest in a suitable VPN.

Was he a seller of lawnmowers to the right people?
“Reading between the lines of course”

The Indian women were of course just asking to be raped, but I saw a school uniform picture where the skirts were what we called midis in the day. I hope that is just for winter uniforms.

So an Indian bloke would at least know what his wife to be looks like! The Pakistani men just hope for the best lol. “I’ll take number three- I can’t tell the f*ckin difference!”

Ah but her majesty would approve. Put the newcomer in her place. Cannot have these darkies getting above themselves. The Duke cannot wait to meet Trump, minds think alike etc

Would she if she wasn’t on maternity leave though, it is hardly politic to haul her out for that and not for some other state head?

To be fair she was just an actress and not a politician like Cindy who referred to President Trump as a professional asrehole. That comment could cost NZ dearly.

Oh I love it when future crims tattoo the face. Perfect ID, can’t hide now sunshine!

“Taylor planned to study law and economics, with hopes of returning to New Zealand after study to serve in Parliament.

He dreamed of one day taking up the role as New Zealand Prime Minister.”

Excellent results and I wish him well in his future pursuits. I do, however, cringe at this new trend of ‘professional’ politicians going straight from university into parliament without any real world experience. With Cindy and Robbo we see the pitfalls of this employment path. John Key was a highly successful leader and PM after years working in a tough business/banking environment, giving him a better world perspective and taught him life skills he could bring to his leadership.

I wonder when she’ll pretend that she doesn’t lie constantly.

Your link did not work. It brings up the above brides father.

Its a state highway and NZTA took that over a couple of years ago with the promise to rebuild it into 4 lanes.
Promises or perhaps contracts that now mean nothing.

I see the first image in the article where the acting Superintendent displays to media etc the type of “guns” that are being targeted. That weapon displayed is a long way away from a bolt action .22 with a tube magazine. This matter was not handled in an open and transparent manner.

“Nash said that 500 firearms had been seized during law enforcement incidents, including police responding to family harm callouts and finding firearms in the home.

Weapons have also been confiscated during vehicle stops during high-profile or significant offending and during raids on organised crime and gang figures.”

I wonder if this figure includes the guns seized during the controversial ‘police chats’ mentioned in some of the blog sites/youtube a few weeks back…?
Will those guns seized from previously legal law abiding licensed owners be reimbursed through the buy back scheme or will there be a sneaky clause for any firearms “seized” during police operations…?

Yeah but some murri buried her placenta under it so now it becomes a taonga and cannot be touched. Opps too late.

That is really madness,paying checkout workers more than productive factory workers in China or Singapore, or the USA or Canada

At least she admits she’s a “Leftie”.

Johnson is delusional in her column. For example, using Julie Ann Genter’s cycling myth to hospital. This was nothing but virtual signalling since a.) it was stage managed and b.) she was using an e-bike yet people like Johnson keep making it out to be something it wasn’t.

In a comment on her post, Genter said that her bike was an e-bike, meaning it was an electric-powered bicycle. She also noted that the trip to the hospital was “mostly downhill,” and that she “should have cycled more” in prior weeks to get the labor[sic] going.

Reminded me of this, which of course is just a tale as the SPCA wouldn’t be too keen on animals being buried alive, but a good story never the less.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.

Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.

We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!

Shake it off and take a step up.

But 5he gangs have still got their guns!

That poor guy. And he’ll do almost all of his sentence because he refuses to accept responsibility for the murders (rightly so if he’s innocent, which I believe he is) much like David Tamihere (another quality police investigation/prosecution….)

I’ve long wondered where the compunction people have for sharing their lives, thoughts & toilet habits openly on social media will end up. Already there are instances of job applicants being forced by interviewers to give access to their Facebook & Twitter pages.

If you forced the average person to reveal their inner thoughts & actions they would be horrified & rebel in the streets. Give the same idiots a smartphone & they’ll do it willingly.

I enjoyed that in a “oh that is eerily similar to what is already happening” way.

But they have lots of new empty buses, so I’m told!

And they built it in the middle of down town where there are narrow streets and no parking.

Did the irish invent it to sit on while applying the makeup?
