Yip folks, the discussion around whether to move to Word Press or not has been won by the Word Press team. A warm round of applause for them please. Yip, this site has now moved to www.bloggreen.wordpress.com, please update your links and bookmarks accordingly. I hope you like the new site, it's more blue than green but that's not a change in my politics, I assure you! The best bit is that I

I'm thinking about moving from Blogger to Word Press. Any thoughts? Alternative suggestions?

And the possums ironically ;) For those of you who don't already know I've been working for the Wilderness Society for the last few weeks, and slightly to my surprise, I'm loving it. In a way it's exactly the same as my last job, except without the bad bits! I get to spend my day standing on the street talking to people in the community about environmental issues that affect them. And that's

Wow I just had one of the most amazing few days of my life on a trip to Canberra to visit the Tent Embassy. I was asked at the end of my time there what the highlight for me was. And I decided to share that further. The highlight was being given the opportunity to sit at the feet of elders and just listen. There are some truly amazing people involved in the campaign for Sovereignty in

Sorry anyone who got sick of looking at boring old posts. Although the conversation around the top 10 list got interesting briefly. So the reason I've been absent from here is because I'm so bloody busy. Finally got some work working for the Wilderness Society which I'm absolutely loving. I get to spend all day outdoors talking to people about environmental and all sorts of other political

I see Mr PC Eradication man questioning the Golden Bay volunteer fire brigade signing a written agreement with local iwi to respect tikanga. "I'm uneasy about the whole idea of a written protocol," he said. "It feels divisive, it separates people as opposed to bringing them together. These things ought to be resolved through dialogue." Mr Mapp said dialogue and sensitivity were "hugely

I read today in The Age that Collingwood is to get a neighbourhood justice centre which includes a community representative on the magistrate selection panel. I'm not entirely sure how the judicial appointment process works here yet, but if it's anything like Aotearoa, they're appointed by the Attorney-General and is announced by a press release, which is rarely picked up by the media. So I see

Tonight I decided to peruse the AM stations in Melbourne to see what I could find. While cruising through (searching for something in English, which was cool!) I heard a discussion about Wellington so I sat on that station for a bit. Now apparently (and this may not be big news to anyone else, but I'm not generally up with these kinds of things) the heart of Phar Lap is taking a visit to the

The Melbourne Age reports that some billboards have been 'adjusted' in Melbourne. For those of you who don't live here the original ones were a source of entertainment to me. They were along the lines of "Attention fare evaders: you suck so much that we have to put notices up to tell you". And they sit quite nicely alongside the "Attention Passengers: If you see anything remotely suspicious,

The Govt just announced the purchase of the Stonewall Block, a 121 hectare coastal property near Cape Palliser on the southern Wairarapa coast. Fully sick mate! Seriously, that is good news, there is some stunning coastline around there and it will be nice to see it protected. And secondly, the Karori Wildlife Santuary have just announced that their Hihi population has doubled in the last year

Yay it's no longer 2005! Christ, what a year that was... So I spent NYE in the most wonderful place ever. Imagine sand dunes as far as the eye can see, not a single bit of civilisation anywhere and a soundsystem right in the middle; a killer crew of DJs and a small gathering of beautiful people dancing all night long. Aah :) So now I'm back and throwing myself back into life and all my

More fun and games with the ol' Technorati search and I discover young Sam Bonner and his Socialist Free Haven. I'm impressed that someone that young is so politically aware. Pity about his analysis. But I was proud to be lumped in with Aaron Bhatnagar, Public Address, Tim Barnett and Tony Milne as the only blogs he doesn't like in this scary socialist world. For the benefit of Sam, I'd like

Occaisionally I do a check on the ol Technorati to see who's been linking here and to see if anyone's actually discussing anything I've said. So I was quite surprised when I found this post over at Progressive Essays. Now I have to say, I am stunned and quite frankly offended at the gross assumption made by this person. I get an email one day from someone saying "hey, I've just got into the

I just found this article on the Ausssie Greens site. It's a pretty good summary of the Green campaign in NZ during the election.

Latest report from the fascist state of Australia. Last night they banned compulsory student unionism. That's right, banned it. No giving students the option or anything, just an outright ban. I think it's absolutely outright fucking outrageous, and I'm amazed the students of Australia haven't been more outraged by it all. The other piece of enlightened Australian news is that some federal

As I posted a couple of days ago, I've been feeling a bit homesick. But I found a cure last night! Going to see my mates Cornerstone Roots play at the Northcote Social Club was so unbelievably cool! I spent the whole night grooving it out and I feel so much better now :) One of things I miss the most about being over here is what I would describe as the sound of home, and last night I got to

As reported on frog Sue Bradford's Minimum Wage (Abolition of Age Discrimination) Amendment Bill got drawn from the ballot today. That's the best bloody news I've heard in ages. As I've ranted about before, I think the idea of discriminating against someone based on their age is as abitrary as discriminating against someone based on what cuddles in between their thighs. I look forward to
