Back from Sydney. Very pleasant weather, some excellent food, and familiar places. Missed out on most of the news in NZ this week, but I did hear a snippet on the police investigation into the leaked emails which Brash insisted the Police investigate.
Apparently, Brash had this weird idea that the police would be interested in solving crimes. Imagine. Throw in potential issues of National Security (if you excuse the pun) and I guess he thought they might bring in Columbo or some-one of that nature. Instead, (from what it sounded like on the news snippet) a mostly blank file has been revealed, with a single peace of paper and some detailed notes:
We haven't got a clue.
We can't really be bothered.
See if you can stall until the issue goes away.
Well lets make sure the issue doesn't go away. Instead we have various idiots stating that leaks and theft are good for the country. Obviously, the police don't think a crime was committed, and that is why they didn't bother to investigate. So who needs the court system to decide?
It's Friday. Think I'll leak this secret information on how slack the police were over their investigation and wait for the left wing intelligentsia to applaud.
Drop in and say hello. Use a blogger handle just in case we get investigated for spreading state secrets on police capabilities. Just joking, you've got no chance of being detected by a detective. They've proven defective. At least, that's what my reflective invective has suggested.
I need a beer. Which reminds me. Tui pulled an advertisement along the lines of "I nvr txt whl drvg" "Yeah, right". That advertisement was deemed too offensive to the people that have texted whilst driving and then died. I guess the irony is that whilst we debate how PC society is becoming, serious moves are afoot to ban Tui from having the right to put up a billboard at all. No advertising of alcohol is set squarely in the sights of the next step in the "war on drugs". My bet is that fast food adverts might go after that, but lingerie and condoms are safe.
Now, where's that Carlsberg? Possibly the world's best tasting beer.
