At last someone notices the sexism of this whole saga.
What utter crap. Is he on 'shrooms or something?
Jeepers!

Re MEAA: "toxic", ""dire consequences" if the Australia union came in"
Prescient.
Hmm...WTF, indeed. It's all going to come out in the great Kiwi wash though, and Simon Whipp may yet be hoist by his own petard (as is happening to a few nasty little men of late, thank goodness.)

It seems so long ago ...

Thanks. :)

In which case you're a Stalinist wanker.
In America, you can always find party.
But in Soviet Russia PARTY FINDS YOU!! -
Thanks, Russell - I missed that whole post and thread. (I've only read the two most recent posts/threads on this). What was the headline? I'd like to read it.
Cheers.

lol, I was going to facetiously ask if they were even the same person, but thought I might get Whipped. D'uh!
Thanks for clarifying that. Parallel universes unite!

I'm confused about Fran Walsh's role. Is she working for NZAE, and if so, how does that gel with her relationship with PJ and Hobbit producers?
So confusing that I might take up beer swilling and bathing. (It works for fury, so it may work for confusion, yes?)

I'm reading it as "if other productions don't follow the Pink Book to the letter then we will put forth more industrial action on this project.
That sounds to me like a fair reading.
I think it would be wrong for NZAE to categorically state that they will not take industrial action on any production ever, as I believe they should have the right to take action if talk doesn't work.
I'm hoping, though, that should industrial action (or even talks, for that matter) be needed on behalf of workers in the industry, that the players and the play are directed by a new NZAE committee with a clear mandate and a properly thought out and fair strategy.

Do NZ Equity / MEAA / CTU have a moral obligation to be telling the NZ public the truth? Somehow, and maybe it's unfair, I feel that they do have more of one.
I don't think it's unfair to positively demand that they tell the NZ public - not to mention their own members! - the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them Gandalf!
They are messing with one of NZ's major growth industries, after all, so I think we have a right to know what on middle earth is going on.

Peter Cox - lol.
