Jami-Lee Ross is attemting to resurrect his political career!
Yes, that is the same Jami-Lee Ross who Key loved so much he had JLR as his Whip - an important post in Parliament and is the enforcer of the Prime Minister
Yes, this is the same Jami-Lee Ross who was involved in dirty dealings, all the while accusing other of dirty deals, who was bonking another, National Party member, who was committed to Middlemore's Mental Health Unit... before running a mobile brothel.
I'm all for letting people have a second chance, but Ross is already up to about 10. He'll probably win a seat, well played.

Times are tough, costs are high and so is unemployment. But, let's face it, we're pretty damned lucky to be living here.
New Zealand has its problems, but we've also got so much to be thankful for. We're still a largely safe and cool place to be, blessed with scenery everyone wants to experience.
South Island is booming economically, mainly on the back of farmers, and Christchurch is eeeing the benefits of enormous post-quake spending paying off. Auckland has become a dark and dull place, with people holding their last dollar. Spring is about to start, and we should use that to drag ourselves kicking and screaming to a fresh start

Don't sit back waiting for an idiot government to kick-start things, get out there and do it ouraelves

One had a type that is reasonably likely to be cured by standard cancer treatment, and the other had a formerly certain fatal kind of brain cancer. The person with the treatable type sought "alternative" treatment, while the brain cancer patient sought cutting-edge technology. Look at the outcomes of the battle of science against stupidity. Case 1 Case 2
