  2. a small technical thing: if you want to break anyone's post into smaller bits, what you need to do is to go to the start of where you want to quote, Highlight the text you to quote, that will then give you the option to click 'quote this'...

  11. lol! it's because of igits that believe that sort of bollocks that the State now says No to violence to children!!! ps. talking about society's ills, perhaps it's time for you to brush up on the exploitative nature of modern capitalism in nz! that's where the majority of current problems can be traced to!

  13. Who the Ombudsmen can investigate What kinds of organisations can the Ombudsmen investigate? Ombudsmen Act 1975, s 13, Schedule 1 The Ombudsmen can investigate the conduct and decisions of any of the following agencies: government departments and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and the Inland Revenue Department – and specific units and services within them, like Work and Income (which is part of the Ministry of Social Development) Crown entities (government-owned organisations) – for example, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), Housing New Zealand, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), and the Commerce Commission boards appointed under specific Acts – for example, the Charities Registration Board, the Arts Board and the New Zealand Geographic Board state-owned enterprises – for example, New Zealand Post and Transpower New Zealand committees of local government bodies such as city councils, district councils, regional councils and harbour boards (only the committees, not the local bodies themselves) public health authorities – for example, district health boards education authorities – for example, school boards of trustees and universities. Who can’t the Ombudsmen investigate? Ombudsmen Act 1975, s 13 The Ombudsmen can’t investigate complaints about: private individuals, and private organisations like companies and incorporated societies lawyers MPs and government Ministers (however, the Ombudsmen can investigate complaints about advice provided to Ministers by government agencies and decisions made by Ministers about requests for official information) police conduct – these complaints are dealt with by the Independent Police Conduct Authority (see the chapter “Police powers”) decisions made by a local council (but the Ombudsmen can investigate decisions made by a council’s committees, including a recommendation from a committee to the council that then results in a decision of the council – so this can be an indirect way of challenging a council’s decision.) decisions made by courts, tribunals and parole boards.
  14. "Marxist-type bureaucratic regulatory conditions " lol!!! this reminds me of when Marx once said "I am not a marxist" referring to the ravings of a person throwing around cheap jargon like De Lore. Gee! I wonder how much spittle there is all over his computer! ? For what is worth! If one Was to actually attempt to apply a marxist approach! then one would start at the point of Production! Note how the cost of Service fees and the costs of getting a horse to the races is never out front in any discussion! Reflecting whom has Hegemony over Racing Industry. ps. i hold one of the bigger Marxist private Libraries in NZ!!!

  19. As a person with a interest in 'racing history' etc that causes pangs of nostalgia, but in my rational brain I know it doesn't actually make much difference with my punting! if anything it should actually help!
  20. ....please don't talk about the elephant on course!!! ? or was that not on course?
  21. at least when Ned Kelly Robbed you he had a Gun... NZTAB do it with a sneer...
  22. yip, that be my tip! Re Betting in general: I'm always amused regarding our ever struggled with 'cognitive bias', with betting, I think we attach some winning logic to some historical wins! when I first started betting it was into very much into local pools! who had limited information! I still so recall being at Addinton (early 70's) and the Odds would get put up the Main Tote Board, NO ONE knew what those odds would be! you had then 35 minutes to change them! to finish with a Tip before the race!!! I Bet I Enjoy the NZ G1 Today! Regardless of whom wins! lol! Though I do have one in mind!
  23. I would love to have seen the 'logic' behind going this way???
