		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve said before, Peter Shirtcliffe&#8217;s campaign to scupper MMP (again) is probably a blessing in disguise for the electoral status quo in New Zealand. If any further evidence were required, the following should suffice for now:

The speech bubbles are blank because Peter is running a caption competition to find a punchline. Demonstrating piercing insight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;John Key has made a meal out of ongoing Treaty negotiations with Ngāi Tūhoe, remarking at dinner with representatives from neighbouring iwi Ngāti Porou that if he were in Tūhoe country, it would be him on the menu. Tūhoe have found his comments hard to swallow, with lead negotiator Tamati Kruger saying the remark was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Commenter Alexandra at The Standard picked up on a report by Radio NZ that John Key joked about Tūhoe as cannibals:

&#8220;The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner,&#8221; [Key] said, &#8220;which wouldn&#8217;t have been [...]]]></description>

Like many others, I was amazed at the turnout for the anti-mining protest in Auckland on Saturday. That 50,000 people would turn out for such an event is remarkable in itself &#8212; the NZRU&#8217;s financial problems would be solved if they could attract so many people to half a dozen rugby matches each year, and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m talking about Bailey Junior Kurariki, whose latest offences, according to criminologist John Pratt, are a sign he has become institutionalised. Of course, his victim&#8217;s mother doesn&#8217;t think [...]]]></description>

I agree with him that both comparisons are entirely unjustified, and do a great disservice to political discourse in this country. 
But without taking away from that, let&#8217;s not forget [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tara Te Heke has been reading from the Ayn Rand playbook with her idea of a DPB party. Classic troll, and devastatingly effective. There are some truly vile things being said there, and in amongst it, the earnest lunacy of a 3,000-word biblical anti-sermon apparently intended as a sort of Turing test. There&#8217;s so much [...]]]></description>
