A major update about the meth lollies, something got lost in translation with the police I think, they seem way too relaxed about class A drugs being out there in the community.

Not long ago, I posted a story about someone's dog eating meth on a walk through Auckland, and now this?

Was this a smuggling operation gone wrong perhaps?

Honestly, the fact they even asked is pretty bad, voluntary or not.

God damn it, not again.

This is just an amazing series of events, with the greens now being forced to threaten to use the Waka Jumping legislation in order to try and make her do the right thing.

Chris Penk is kind of a dumbass, isn't he? The amount of things he's been completely wrong about is a very long list.

What do we think, will she resign? Will the greens use the Waka jumping law?

And is there anything remotely useful she can accomplish as an independent MP without an electorate?

I must admit, I don't fully understand the green party's objection to this piece of legislation, a party is elected with a mandate to represent the wishes of the people who voted for them. If an MP doesn't want to do that, then they should indeed resign, at least as a list MP.

Some quite out of touch comments in here, I think. Saying "unlikely they would imitate the stylish apartment blocks that can be seen in the likes of Paris or Rome." when a large chunk of our population currently don't have a hope of ever owning a home is pretty elitist, in my view.

They also mention 50m2 as being considered the minimum for banks to lend to you, I live in a three bedroom house that's 100, a living space for one person can definitely be less than half that.

I really hope we can get more dwellings built that are affordable for a single person, that's something currently missing from our market, I feel.

Quite a fascinating series of events actually, it sounds like the landlord/realtor has let her attitude cost her a large amount of money, and will continue to do so if she appeals the case.

It's good to see her getting pulled up like this though.

The 41-year-old man was initially charged with unlawfully being in a building and on 1 March, he appeared in the Nelson District Court before a community magistrate who convicted and discharged him.

Uhh, what the fuck? How did anyone think letting this person go was a reasonable thing to do?

Quite fascinating that illegally manufacturing cigarettes is now a worthwhile endeavour for someone.
