I suspect that there weren't any jobs at KPMG advertised on the Work and Income database. Pity - there are obviously a lot of skilled people without jobs out there, and many with jobs but not sufficient skills.

6784 views in 12 hours - how does that rate in PA's record books, Russell?

To look on the bright side. This will be another valuable case study for students of the growing academic discipline of e-government.

I have a family member who works for an NGO that gets CYFs referrals for counselling and support. So all those details will be there. I wonder how many NZers are affected like this one way or another? Such a widespread violation of privacy.

3200 views in 10 hours overnight (is this a PAS record, Russell?)

I was a bit surprised to read that Arlo Guthrie is a registered Republican and a supporter of Ron Paul.

Went to the Wellington concert last night. Terrible weather outside with winter back with a vengeance, but warm inside the Opera House. Was great to see old and young socialists en mass, and Bragg's anti-cynicism anthem was particularly heartening. He even said 'the personal is political' - haven't heard that phrase in the Opera House before.

You only needed to attend one of the packed Save TVNZ7 meetings to feel the anger of the grey demographic at the dismissal of them on the public service TV issue and the ratings in general. Even mucking around with Coronation Street's timing is done in a disrespectful way. I've heard that Country Calendar would never be commissioned now.

So there are probably a lot more people actually watching TV1 or TV3 at 7 pm than TV2, but the Shortland Street watchers are somehow more valuable human beings. What rubbish.

We've talked about ratings before but it really annoys me how they dismiss half of the population - those over 54. Unjust, unfair and unrealistic for NZ with its aging population which watches television and has disposable income.
