It would the Wairarapa as a whole then has an employment problem. I presume the youth % is high in all areas.

Since 2011 - saying he has "found no other country that aligns more with my view of the future than New Zealand."
That vision scares me - and the current Govt and its many links to Atlas seem to be a cog in the process.

True - and yet he appeared to be wanting to create that bunker near Wanaka. Failing planning consent - so far. ✔️

He might point to the million$ he apparently donated to the ChCh EQ fund. However, his ties to Atlas - and what Palantir is doing…
I also just basically object to any oligarch creating havoc elsewhere and expecting a nice bolt hole (bunker) in NZ.

LOL Scout Master at camp told the assembly he didn’t appreciate being told my attempt at frying his eggs became an omelette - became scrambled! 🤷🏻
PS Can now do all intentionally - and a quiche. Haven’t graduated to a soufflé though. 😌

One little thing! If all the evidence is made public, how can you ever select an uncontaminated jury for a trial(s)?

I asked a legal type Labour MP about that and they indicated it would be difficult to take away PTs citizenship.

Umm - you are forgetting another big brand associated with some rather strange results in 2016. Remember that #45 and co claimed Dominion were part of the rigging then, when in all likelihood it was the one they already controlled.
Here in NZ it is all by hand - and it works! Just needs people!

Could we grow into an Emma Peel or a Lara or even a “Kill Bill”? I don’t know. The plots got less and less believable anyway - and the world was quite happy to rank the Bond actors. I guess “a straight white male” keeps it simple.

When we first saw Sean Connery in Dr No, did we have expectations because of Ian Fleming’s book - or did they eventuate with subsequent movies - and actors? I’d like to think a good writer has the freedom to surprise and please me with their replacement.

If you can have different Dr Whos with different personas and genders - then surely you can have different Bonds? After all, he’d already been replaced as 007.

It was such a buzz seeing people in their 60s, 70s and even 80s graduating. Yay for lifelong education!

I was really into Chemistry at high school - home “lab” - parents installed a gas Bunsen burner for me. I bought my own beam balance and things like a glass barometer tube. Really enjoyed the experimentation. Then failed at University! 🤷🏻
Thirty five years later I finally got there - in Physics!
