8:34 am Reading the morning newspaper has left me in despair over the way our politicians behave. The country has struggled through the last few years of economic downturn, but standing up in Parliament and asking hard questions of the government is no way for an opposition leader to behave.Shame on David Shearer for playing politics over such an important…
The latest column from Papakura solicitor Harry Hindenberg It looks as if it’s been a big news day, but I’ve really struggled to keep track of all the developments, due to my work commitments. Nobody really understands how difficult it is to dispose of a body until they have to do it themselves. I usually…
I promised earlier today that I would formally endorse one of the US presidential candidates. It has become traditional in the days preceding an election for some media organisation to put their support behind one of the candidates.But why have I decided to formally endorse one of the candidates? I hadn’t planned to get involved, but I…
At 8:00 pm tonight I will endorse one of the candidates for President of the United States. It could be a turning point in the campaign. And it will happen right here!

I’m delighted to learn that my old friend Cameron Slater (he and and I are best mates: just ask Bomber Bradbury if you don’t believe me) has been appointed as editor of The TruthinessTruth. It’s not quite as prestigious as being made chief editor of The New Zealand Herald, but it’s a first step.If anyone…
There is growing speculation about the likelihood of further speculation about the leadership of the Labour Party. Speculation has been growing for some time that a move to speculate on a move to oust David Shearer may be coming soon.The latest round of speculation began after a number of commentators speculated on the recent speculation about the…
10:34 am Just heard the news, and it’s all bad. This could really be the big one. Have now picked the kids up from school and daycare, and we’re trying to decide what to do. Do we stay and ride out the storm, or do we flee inland?10:52 am We had a pretty intense debate…
