				<description><![CDATA[After nearly three years of being the exotic dancing girl of Public Address, it's time for me to retreat behind the curtains of the champagne room.  These Canto-peasant feet weren't made for stilettos.  Here are the reasons for my early retirement.  Some of you may remember my occasional reference to my paid employment a few years back at the Secret Place, a politically sensitive part of the wider New Zealand civil service (somewhere near the prostate perhaps).  Now after a gap of self-employment and hobo-dom, I am a full-time civil servant again, an employee of the [Redacted Place], Geneva HQ.…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Ah, nationalism.  How it craps all over you when you least expect it.  Unless you’re a minority of some kind, and therefore expect it constantly.  That’s probably why some of us don't have much invested in rugby, which is serving me rather well right now.   Plenty of New Zealand-born ethnic minorities though, are just as crazy about national sporting teams as the rest of the ‘kiwis’.  Maybe even more so.  One of the two New Zealanders Of Colour I was watching the game with in Geneva (the one wearing two All Blacks shirts, one on top of the other and…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[I'm the Mt Roskill mother!  Give me the child!  I will fight all comers using the mystical art of "taijuchuanj-wu style"  I... oh.  Sorry. I was unexpectedly overcome by the all-conquering force of little-Chinese-girl cuteness. Damn  but that mysteriously abandoned kid is cute. It makes me realise how racist I am.  Actually, I've been told many times how racist I am by Public Address readers, so it should come as no surprise here.  The purported cuteness of little Maddy had no effect on me, despite her larger than life-size picture being plastered over every European customs terminal I've passed through…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Reading about Russell's case of the good ol' Singaporean Heebie-Jeebies made me realise just why I've been enjoyed Hong Kong so much: it's like Singapore but without the annoying bits.   I've just been transiting a couple of days in Hong Kong, and it took me a while to figure out why I was finding it so... homey.  Although I've leveled a fair amount of vitriol at the Singaporean-industrial complex, it is ultimately the place where most of my family is concentrated, and the country that I spent the second-most amount of time in as a child, after New Zealand.  And…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[NZ Press Council, 11 June 2007:  "The Press Council has upheld complaints by Tze Ming Mok and others, the Asia New Zealand Foundation and Grant Hannis against North &amp; South for its report on Asian immigration and crime. The Council has found the magazine breached its principles on accuracy and discrimination."  It was a unanimous ruling and - despite the current unlawfulness of such behaviour - "an unmitigated spanking", as one observer put it.   I have archived all the documents relating to the three complaints against 'Asian Angst' and North &amp; South here, including the full ruling, Deborah Coddington's official responses to…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[The Great Firewall decided to temporarily block blogspot, and my personal site last week.  The usual random pattern, I thought - but a few days later, today, it's the anniversary that dare not speak its name (rhymes with Loon North).  Ah.  Still, today when you Google 'Tiananmen' from Beijing, you get a page of Wikipedia and BBC listings describing the incident (links blocked though), and if you image-google, you get columns of Tanks, Tank Man, and a pile of dead people. This has been done before on this very site, but what better day to have another go at it.…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Guest Peril: Hannah Ho, one of the organisers of 'Sweet As?': Ethnic and Pakeha New Zealanders talk identity and dominance in a colonised land, 9-10 June 2007, St Anne’s Hall, Newtown, Te Whanganui a tara/Wellington.  Why do some white people get grumpy when they get called white people? I would hazard a guess that it’s not because those people reckon they are actually beige, peach, off-white, cream or pink, rather than literally white. I suspect it’s because being called white is real close to the bone, the white supremacist bone.  (And I don’t mean the 20 National Front members in…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Having spent a lot of time in China in my life, I hardly ever think of it as a Bizarro-World where people walk around upside down, read back to front, and eat inside-out.  Then I saw Winston Peters speaking at Peking University in praise of all things Asian. Here's a photo I took at the opening ceremony of the New Zealand Centre, Peking U.  ...And running with the theme of confusing imagery, another one I turned around to take: a hallful of Chinese students and academics applauding Winston Peters.    During his speech, the Minister kindly refrained from proposing common ancestral…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[For Take Back the Blog day, here are some thoughts on receiving threats, and on why I never had a photo-byline for my 2006 Sunday Star-Times column.   Firstly, photo-bylines are stupid and vain, and Steve Braunias virtually dared me to try and wrangle my way out of having to have one at the SST - he thought that I'd never succeed. Secondly, the white supremacist movement (about four people - maybe more of a mah-jong group than a movement?), had a bad photo of me on a 'watchlist', which included a link to my phone number and address details.  The…]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[I know what you're waiting for: What was  Deborah Coddington's comeback to the Press Council 'Asian Angst' complaints?  Was the complaint ghostwritten by Russell Brown and David Haywood using fake unspellable Chinese names?  And where can you find the only genuine Southwest Chinese Style sesame noodles in the Central City? All this and more... sometime.  Maybe. Okay, okay, I feel bad for guarding secrets now that I'm leaving the country.  It's Hot Woks in the huge SkyCityCinema's megacentre foodcourt on Queen St.  Ignore absolutely everything they're selling except for the obscure noodles that you've never heard of, down the bottom…]]></description>
