When rugby rules, Tampax and ACC statistics collide!
Sounds like a reality tv show..
looks like an upside-down vagina
Your comment is at least consistent with Danielle's characterisation of this thread. And you'll have to take up that choice of character with the Deaf community. I'm sure they'd laugh, especially if they've never noticed.

Arises. Curses to the person who put the "s" key next to the "d" key..

I'll go one beyond retaining ACC - extend it to cover all disability regardless of how it arised.

"property torture porn" - wonder what the Yanks will do with that one..

The Herald et al seem to come down pretty hard on real estate agents at times - certainly they can use their press releases for sales figure/state of the market type pieces, but I think its fair to say that editorial right to attack the industry remains, regardless of ad income...
Innoculation is a complex beast at times, Gareth.

Ah italics, the original Italian sarcasm tag. :)

Picking up on one of the buzzphrases tossed around over the weekend: unless there is signficant investment in research, innovation and tertiary education by whoever is our next government, it seems to me that increased "productivity" will mean no more than lowering wages like it did in the 90s.
I recall someone arguing that one of the main reasons for the wage gap with Australia is that their govt, employers and unions worked together to invest in capital improvements, IT and skills development - while our govt suppressed the unions and made it too easy for employers to simply hire more unskilled bodies and invest the short term profits in real estate.
Rod Oram has written how that lack of exposure to other approaches has left our businesses unprepared to take up the productivity challenge now. That isn't about picking winners; it means making sure that all businesses have what they need to perform better, including real broadband and export support like NZTE already seems to be delivering. We already have one of the easiest economic environments to do business in, so I don't see much room for improvement there.

Mark, was that the place in Rawene built over the water?

But Craig, we've already mentioned a "sarcasm tag" - (!)

I notice there's another thread about this. See you there, perhaps.
