I recall being slightly worried about keeping it together.
The news reminds me of the first time I met them, as a young Rip It Up writer doing an interview for the release of Light of the Pacific. I walked in their downtown practice room and introduced myself: "Wassat? Roll It Up? You're just in time!" and I was handed the bong. It was a congenial korero.
Sad to hear of the death of Herbs founding member Dilworth Karaka today. Of all the members of the band, the big man was the best communicator, and I had some good chats with him back in the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqaH...

My son Leo and I set out for a random wander along K Road and ended up becoming part of Matt Ellwood's art event at Melanie Roger Gallery. Kinda cool being handed a knife and asked to cut out a piece of a work to take away. While everyone else is watching!

The Gee & Hickton advert sums it up for the
PM: "Political career is dead."
Pretty desperate move by the writers, imo
Fortunately we have had a many years ongoing priority to reduce transport inflation by having the mass movement of internal goods focused on rail fulled by renewable electricity.
(listens to earpiece) Oh No.
The way someone writes and speak used to reflect that person's experiences through life, give cues about their values, in short it was a filtered version of *them*
Now that everyone uses the same machine for every shred of human communication, who is really talking to whom?
Really? Wow.
Is there a difference between an βinternal pollβ by Curia and a poll by Curia?
Willis *not even waiting for publication of the poll* to tell Newstalk ZB how bad it is was quite the eye-opener.
People keep saying this, but TOP's general manager is a former Labour MP and several of their policies would be anathema to National and Act. I think they'd be far more likely to go with Labour.
What a remarkable statement. Both true and chilling.

Manning the barbecue.
Exactly
Ye gods.
Note the italics in RNZ's report.
Also hilarious that Bish is away in India watching cricket and not at home scheming.
TOP? They propose a comprehensive land tax to fund a UBI, which is not really status quo.
Nah, Curia's straight political polling is solid enough.
The interesting thing is that in this poll (just one poll, etc), Labour isn't cannibalising the rest of the left bloc β the Greens and TPM are up slightly too β while National is apparently shedding support to several parties. TOP included, making them the highest-polling party not in Parliament.
Oof. Not so sweet for Peters either.
The Centre-Left bloc could form a Government, but with the finest possible margin according to the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll. This poll shows Labour gain 0.3 points to 34.4 percent, while National drops 2.9 points to 28.4 percent. The Greens gain 0.2 points to 10.5 percent, while New Zealand First drops 0.8 points to 9.7 percent. ACT gains 0.8 points to 7.5 percent, while Te PΔti MΔori gains 0.3 points to 3.2 percent.
And here it is.
Well played, sir.
