Great to hear that Nicky Hager has a full apology from the police over the 2014 raid on his home. And probably a not insubstantial payment as well.

The police searched Nicky's home for 10 hours while he wasn't there, after the first hour he claimed journalistic priviledge. But the police didn't find hidden documents, some of the Snowden Papers he was working on. Nicky has protected his Rawshark source and produced a great book in Dirty Politics. Of course the Nats haven't given up on these techniques, trying to smear the PM's partner, until the police were obliged to step in and debunk the situation more recently.
Every day now, we're seeing positive progress towards a more positive political arena. Gerry Brownlee's been caught playing solitaire in question time, he says that's Ok, Simon says it's Ok. Yeah right. If Gerry doesn't find being in opposition interesting enough, he should resign.
