Single Malt Social Democrat: You can get out any time you like, but you can never leave
http://singlemaltsocialdemocrat.blogspot.com/2007/05/you-can-get-out-any-time-you-like-but.html
Single Malt Social Democrat. Saturday, May 12, 2007. You can get out any time you like, but you can never leave. It's very interesting to see how Australia is handling. The planned Australian Cricket team's tour of Zimbabwe, especially when compared with New Zealand's more hands off approach to the same issue. John Howard has announced that the Australian Government will ban the Australian players from going on the tour, apparently by using government "powers over [players'] passports". Ranting on the ROK.

Single Malt Social Democrat: Silver linings
http://singlemaltsocialdemocrat.blogspot.com/2007/04/silver-linings.html
Single Malt Social Democrat. Saturday, April 28, 2007. It was hardly surprising when the black caps were eliminated in the semi-finals of the cricket world cup by Sri Lanka, they reach the semi finals frequently, but are yet to advance into a final. Less predictable though, was today's feeling of relief that they were eliminated before the final! The other question is, why was the game scheduled for a venue without lights?

Single Malt Social Democrat: Subway/Subpar
http://singlemaltsocialdemocrat.blogspot.com/2007/05/subwaysubpar.html
Single Malt Social Democrat. Thursday, May 10, 2007. Much amazement has been available in the slowly unfolding car wreck that has been Subway's handling of one of their employees sharing a drink with her friend. Not only have Subway apparently entirely misjudged the amount and nature of public interest and feeling in this issue, they also seem to have blundered badly in terms of their adherence to employment law.

Single Malt Social Democrat: March 2007
http://singlemaltsocialdemocrat.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Single Malt Social Democrat. Monday, March 26, 2007. What an unedifying spectacle Michael Laws provided on Campbell Live tonight. Campbell had a reasonable go at holding him to account, but the item really did show up the futility of trying to discuss even a simple political story in five or six minutes. Laws seemed to have two justifications for banning gang patches, a measure which combines that oh so appealing mix of freedom abridgement and ineffectiveness! Single Malt Social Democrat. It seems to me ...

Single Malt Social Democrat: January 2007
http://singlemaltsocialdemocrat.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Single Malt Social Democrat. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Will it really be just the two of them? To gain traction on this issue also requires the National Party to frame itself as the party of compassion for the poor. Do they really think they can do this convincingly? Even if charities rather than companies are involved, their activities would still have to be paid for. Essentially it would be government expenditure under another name. If I was a right-winger, I would actually be quite worried about this...

This blog will make comments on contemporary issues from a Left leaning Christian and Social democratic perspective. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Why Labour thinks it can win again. TVNZ website Jul 28, 2008. Despite languishing behind National in the polls, Prime Minister Helen Clark still believes Labour can win a fourth term. Her strategy is to get to within 10 percentage points of National by the start of the campaign, and then out-perform National during the campaign. Is this just political posturing?
