Yes.
It is a really cool take on time travel, really mind bending on the first watch. Once you have seen it a few times and understand the way things work, it kind of loses some of the entertainment value.

What conditional documents?
As a friend of mine said some years ago "VLC will play a slice of cucumber" that pretty much sums it up.
This was my first thought when I originally read the doctrine.....maybe it is because I have a lot of siblings.
That is an interesting point.
What is the point of protest?
Isn't it to be noticed, so that the issue that you are protesting gets attention.
What is a valid way to protest, to garner the most attention to your issue?
Disrupting normal activities seems to be the best way, I remember when I was at uni, there was a sit-in in the admin building that prevented the admin staff from doing their work, is this valid? It certainly got a lot of attention.
I guess they are using magical hollywood accounting
Yea, and (according to the podcast) the $12B is on top of the planned borrowing, so it is extra borrowing.
Thanks.
I herd the same number on Bernard Hickeys podcast.
It is not really impossible, and there is clear international precedent for how to deal with these kinds of situations.
Contra proferentem (Latin: "against [the] offeror"),[1] also known as "interpretation against the draftsman", is a doctrine of contractual interpretation providing that, where a promise, agreement or term is ambiguous, the preferred meaning should be the one that works against the interests of the party who provided the wording.[2]
This is the legal equivalent of "you cut, I choose".
The fact there are two versions of the treaty, and they are not equivalent, and the crown provided the wording on both (since at the time there was no written Maori language), contract law would side with the Maori on any ambiguous points.
The challenge is determining what is ambiguous, what can be done with the discovered ambiguities. Obviously the two treaties are not wholly different and both languages have evolved since the treaties were drafted. Te Reo is a modern language, it is (from my understanding) an amalgam of various versions of the Maori languages (see Whanganui vs Wanganui) that were spoken by the separate tribes, they were all very similar but with regional differences.

Great!
The early over the top hacker aesthetic, the ridiculous adversarial hacker battle, the complete misunderstanding of what hacking actually involved (the world has changed). It is all awesome.
Some of the stuff they got right is also cool, the social engineering is still a thing.
Also because of my age when it came out (1995)....I would have seen it in 96/97, I was in my late teens.
