It's disappointing that the Herald and Listener didn't interview a completely objective expert for recent articles.

Help! And sorry to change topic but geography is science too, ain't it? My husband is backing Michael Laws re the spelling of the unfortunate town which has him as mayor. How do I argue that a referendum engineered (?) by a one-track minded mayor is not really democracy?

A big fat paper on a Saturday with pictures and a magazine and this week an opposite line to The Listener on a fascinating topic ...

Thanks Kyle. I'm looking forward to reading the Herald on Saturday. I've just read the bulk of the original Metro article from Sacha's link. I think it sounds very reasoned - very well researched. I can't remember if I read it at the time - I must have!
Reading the Metro article reminds me of how far the treatment of women has come since then. I had a gyne cancer in 1996 and was sent every pathology report and every letter sent to my GP. Because of being informed, I was able to ask for a second opinion and request treatment which I would otherwise not have received. As a result (I guess it could just be luck) I recovered from a stage 3c cancer.

Possum fur okay - mink not okay. Baby seals definitely not okay. What about rabbit?

Re the media. What did you think of the breathless One News coverage (tonight) of national's emission scheme changes?

Also, there's an article in the new Metro by Charlotte Grimshaw about the need for Sainsbury and Campbell to "man up" in their respective "current affairs" shows.

Have just watched smacking discussion on last week's Media 7. Great television, Russell.
And a very interesting link to the awards, Lyndon.
I just wonder why NZ is having this debate in a sort of national vacuum when a lot of other countries have been there already.

Maybe the boys will respect us more if we become the norm:)
