And there was still no room for PI teams.
2011 RWC have a cruise ship parked in a port (floating htl) and have Fiji/Samoa/Tonga play home games in a home pool. Big hits or what - total TV highlights and what a draw card for the Rugby world to have a month in the Islands.

"5. If you want research-led, innovation economy ... A lot of our top researchers go and work for overseas firms because the research sector here isn't funded well enough."
The contested funding is another great joy. 1/2 your time is getting funding to continue the study & justifying the existance in/of your organisation.
How are the med lab test in AKL these days?

"I could have added that they prevented us from picking our Maori players to tour until the 1960s and that's why they kept winning. (and that the NZRU acceded to their demands)"
How does that little ditty from Blam Blam Blam go again?

No it doesn't Tom. They were systematic and planned coupled with the Nazi culture of cruelty.

Budget Surplus vs District Council Rate Rises.

Monorail it aint but a circus it sure is - look into the Central Plains Water scheme.
Farmers land sacraficed so richer (AKL based) farming corps can irrgate the Canty plains for Dairty Dairying.
On every point it's wrong.
-Water take - sold to farmers as one flood is enuf for the year - It's a lie as water can't be taken untill it's clean as silt breaks pumps.
-Storage - AKL based farimg corps displacing Canty farmers from their land.
-Irrigation - washes minerals out of the soil and into the waterways polluting them - requiring more fertiliser - plus effluent to add to the vicious cycle.
-Aquifiers - are already drained and many took 20k + years to get here.
- Water Quality - Christchurch will lose its pure water Evian is the other place you'll find a town on pure untreated water.BTW CHCH water runs up hill - down the plain then hits the volcanic rock of Banks Pen and up it pops in artisian springs - this means any nasty floaties washed down have an increased chance of getting in the tap water.

"We may have the least nationalistic anthem ever."
Anthems "God save the Queen" & "God defend NZ" (added in 1973)

Yeah I might get a little precious as to how scores of my extended family have their names on the memorial at Auschwitz but seemingly no-one assisted the Nazi war machine.
