I do not buy the argument, which seems to have taken hold, that the boot camps trial has to be shut down immediately because two kids escaped and got arrested after allegedly stealing a car. If you haven't caught up on this, what’s happened is that those two boot camp kids who ran away after the tangi last week have now been found... because they’ve been arrested. They allegedly hooked up with each other, found another couple of mates, went and nicked a car, ran from the cops and when the cops

An interesting, but good, move on forestry and farming. It is another example of practical thinking and application in an area that relied, to be frank, on laziness to solve a problem. Ever since we became obsessed with climate change and we became obsessed with things that might or might address climate change, the low hanging fruit has been trees and carbon markets. Carbon markets, as we have seen yet again this year, don't work. The government has mucked with the rules, changed the prices,
