In my above post read Elizabeth St for Castlereigh.

"I was employed at the Law Courts building and filmed the Pro march from the roof where I had a clear view to Park St and by crossing diagonally I had a clear view of Parliament House."

Issy, as that was obviously not part of your terms of employment, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SACKED FOR TRESPASS.

Bussed in professional protesters, from gunnie clubs and other shooting galleries, sure, paid and financed by HQ at NRA America. The genuine number of radical right wing protesters that day was a few hundred, the rest were paid agitators, and the usual gun supporting nut jobs, Neo-Nazi's etc.

Issy, you always bang on about the Greens and drugs,then tell me why did the Shooters and Fishers do a preference deal with the HEMP Party? Was there free dope given out to party members or some such thing?

Despaulation!!

Hi Foxy, I'll throw this one in here, tell you about something very unusual concerting peoples ways and their response.

The wife is on Facebook groups. "T" tells me yesterday morning, we are having a hangi tonight. Where from I ask. Someone named Joe Joe, who the wife didn't actually know, JJ has put down a hangi for about 40 people. The message goes out if you need a feed contact mobile number. I ask what for, "T" its JJ's way of helping the whanau. I had to drive to JJ's place at 5.30pm and pick up 2 hangi's. I asked his wife, is this only for the Maori community. No, already given kai to Indian people, and some Muslim people (no pork people). As for payment, purely voluntary, make a koha (donation) only if you feel you can. These were very ordinary people, dealing with people they knew and people they didn't know. I can't imagine many Australians doing that sort of thing, can you? The wife thought it was perfectly normal. BTW it was a very good hangi worth the drive and the koha.

Paul1405,

Which goes to prove what I was saying of Life (the entity) that we are feeders.

I suppose in NZ you have that old expression "There's no such thing as a free hangi."

And I suppose now you will be hangi-ing out for another hangi, so where are you going to hangi out for the next hangi?

(PS. The The Forum text corrector drives me crazy. Can you image how many times I had to re-write 'hangi'? One has to be extra careful before hitting the Post Comment button otherwise you will end up saying some strange things as I have found to my chagrin.)
