The inbred nature of New Zealand judicial appointments has been satirized into cult vernacular on the website Uncylopedia. The term "Gendall" - the surname of NZ brother jurists Warrick and David - is definedon the site as "organisms infecting the humanoid sub species of Judex Corruptus".
Yesterday several thousand people marched in the Aotearoa Not for Sale protest against asset sales in Auckland.
Unfortunately I got to the city late so I missed King Kapisi starting the march with an awesome free style rap. However, once I ran up Queen St to join the march I was impressed by the size of the crowd.
Despite bad weather, thousands of people protested across Aotearoa in 16 towns against the government's asset sales agenda. This is not a complete summary.
Jordan Winiata representing Ngati Paki and Ngati Hinemanu began today’s Waitangi Tribunal hearing. The claimants today are third parties to the primary claim taken by the New Zealand Maori Council.
Today's tribunal was a stark contrast to yesterday's expert evidence. Evidence today focused on a much more fundamental premise than that explored by submitters yesterday: namely, that as far as claimants are concerned, asset sales cannot proceed because the government cannot sell what it doesn't own.
