Jack Tame: Guy Williams vs Leo Molloy - don't overthink it!
July 15, 2022 21:33 - 4 minutes - 3.79 MBOn Thursday night, New Zealand Today went to air on TV3 with roughly half of its show dedicated to an exchange between the show’s host, Guy Williams, and Auckland mayoral candidate, Leo Molloy. The piece was funny if not especially edifying. Even for the minority of us who do engage with local body politics, Leo Molloy is probably better known for his character rather than his policy positions. Leo Molloy spent the vast majority of the segment teasing and insulting Guy. He used various low-le...
Jack Tame: Three leaders, three countries, one big week in politics
July 09, 2022 01:57 - 4 minutes - 4.45 MBOPINION: Three leaders. Three countries. One week. Boris Johnson's resignation felt like a rare little win for the convention. There can be no doubt Donald Trump's leadership style inspired him, and the way Trump just thumbed his nose at all of the previous standards of behaviour for world leaders. Scandal after scandal, Boris Johnson managed to duck and dodge and deflect and survive what would have been politically fatal for most other leaders in the pre-Trump era. The temerity of having...

July 08, 2022 23:14 - 4 minutes - 4.12 MBA few weeks ago, we dealt with lemons and other citrus – never got around to solving some pests and diseases and … pruning tips Lemons should be fruiting. Ensure that the load of fruit on the branches is not too heavy (breaking!), so remove fruit accordingly, especially from young trees and prune some off to let the frame-work develop; next year let a few more grow as the tree strengthens its branch system. Pruning should achieve a nice “open” structure of branches; if a bird can fly “throu...

Ruud Kleinpaste: The Rhizosphere
July 01, 2022 23:36 - 5 minutes - 4.66 MBA few weeks ago, I made a quick comment about taking care when gardening and walking on wet soil. Compaction of the soil often causes removal of air bubbles from the soil and the roots will then be permanently surrounded by moisture; this can cause rotting and a heap of health problems for the plant. The “Rhizosphere” is the area around the roots of plants (trees, shrubs, herbs, annuals, perennials etc). It is the soil-zone that literally does all the work for Life on the Planet. Here the s...

Jack Tame: This time the politicians can't hide from the booze debate
July 01, 2022 21:37 - 3 minutes - 3.5 MBIt’s perhaps my favourite thing about New Zealand politics. Just about as Kiwi as you can possibly get. Whenever it’s time to select an MP’s member bill for debate before our parliament, we don’t pick it out of some golden, jewel-encrusted box or have it delivered by regal horsemen from an impenetrable Swiss safe. We pick it from the biscuit tin. The biscuit tin. A thirty-year-old, blue-and-white biscuit tin with a label, ‘Members’ Bills,’ sellotaped on the front. It’s as though our democracy...
