Is anyone in Dunedin? I've just read The Larnachs by Owen Marshall. Bloody good holiday reading. I take my hat off to him - wish I could wander up to the castle and have a look at the setting.

Capture: Roamin' Holiday, in reply to JacksonP,
Super letter box. Attached is hydrangea, a flower I don't usually like but which this summer grabs my eye like a Karl Maugham painting!

Your link went to the Jakarta Times or something so I've included the above. A great speech, a better speech. Long. Got a bit dazed in the economic section. Can we listen to these speeches on line?
Interesting that he linked to Michael Joseph Savage - it's almost as if he is the default leader of the opposition. I don't know how the political media works but if I wanted to get an opposition sound bite on an issue I think I'd go to Norman not Shearer. Hmmmm.

Funnily enough I've just watched Inside NZ, Inside Child Poverty on TV on Demand. It hit me hard.
Shearer is placing a lot of emphasis on the issue of poverty.
And in advocating clean, green and clever jobs he is distancing himself from Shane Jones' pro-mining stance!

Woah… ageist much?
Aren't I allowed to be ageist at my age?
Maybe the Herald used a tired looking pic to put up against Shearer's frequent use of the word "fresh". I mean ... fresh. What's fresh?
