Mr Reasonable hits the news
In the Dominion Post today there’s an article about the story of Mr Reasonable, whose blog goes into quite lot more detail about the dodgy dealings inflicted on him by a local property developer and the property developer’s, er, friends.
[I don’t know about anyone else, but italicising the word “friends” always brings to mind a certain subset of Italian society – as imagined like this: “Mr Andreotti whispered: ‘Don’t worry – cosa amici in Palermo will sort it out for us.’” I’ve obviously been reading way too many books on recent history in Italy…]
Anyway, if the link comes online, I’ll post it here.
Update: 18 May. The article is now online here. And as Stuff expires its articles in about two weeks, I’ve got a PDF version of the article here.
Update: 21 May. Some further, astounding news for Mr Reasonable (PDF version here). And big ups all round for Tommy’s.

Yeah, saw it, & office chatter is overwhelmingly sympathetic to his cause.

It’s a good article… but just a pity that they can’t really let rip on the bad guys.

Wow, that’s pretty cool of Tommy’s to do that. He makes a good point regarding the real estate agent keeping their commission from the deposit, too.

I say Tommy for Sheriff – he could clean up the town and kick them there outlaws into the wilderness.
