It's still around for some things, eg Jetstar. You used to be able to do a manual online transfer to pay for flights but now POLi is the only way you can avoid the $5 credit card surcharge. Grinds on me every time I buy a flight.

You cite Breitbart as an example of a website that is "less vulnerable to being co-opted or politically motivated." How is that even remotely accurate, considering the Chairman of Breitbart, Steve Bannon, is Trump's campaign

I think "forced means of talent retention" is an unfairly harsh characterisation. It's a pretty reasonable policy considering taxpayers have to service the debt, and people who go overseas stop paying tax. It's all very

That's from May last year, when he resigned and then un-resigned after failing to win his seat in the last election. Of course, possible a similar thing could happen again.

Look, I agree that the union jack is a poor representation of NZ, and that it should probably be changed, and that it's unfair to represent a colonial legacy and little else, including Maori culture. But the analogy to the Third Reich
