what angle are you looking for on this banker thing?
Sheesh, it's only a page ago:
leveraged lending and a regulated market advantage
= the ability to lend the same funds more than once, and enabled by a regulatory framework that enforces market barriers to competition.

Matariki celebrations seem to have more of a foothold with northern iwi and a presence in the Auckland region, for instance. No idea why.
Interesting that from what has been said here, Hogmanay in our south is celebrated at the mid-winter season - when most of our other northern-hemisphere-derived holidays are stubbornly kept at the same date, in completely the wrong season. Go the pragmatic mainlanders!

most examples fall apart if you push them hard enough
Uh, I don't think that's pushing particularly hard. As others have pointed out upthread, there's a fundamental difference between selling something that is all used up in the sales process and something that is not depleted at all.
I agree with you that the cost is shared over many units, but that also applies to most other industries where there are fixed investments alongside per-unit costs. The risk that you won't recover all costs is part of pricing, along with market characteristics.
Recent technological changes have altered that equation dramatically for your industry in particular. The detail of where the income is split was useful, thank you. From reading Jon's response alongside yours, perhaps the marketing function may be shifting away from the production companies?
Like I say, make one of the whanau a banker instead and see where that takes you.

Heck, don't apologise - it strikes me as a good starting position when you read anything by Craig, delight that he is. :)

Might be one sensible thing to use a referendum for.

Keri, don't tell me yr keyboard is on the way out as well as the lemon's power supply.. :)

Keep Xmas, replace Queen's Birthday - haven't met a single person who cares about that one other than as a day off. One or two of those in mid-winter would be most welcome (which I suspect was part of the motivation behind xmas).

And for us..

I'm sure there are some good anglo saxon words for it.. :).

What I'd really like is for Matariki to be an official holiday. About time we had a local one rather than all those northern hemisphere imports.
