  • Busytown: A good read,

    that is some fantastic work in the Listener jolisa.

    for me it's an incredibly sad story and just feels wrong. I can't imagine how it must have felt to discover this at the time.

    i just don't understand why Ihimaera did not bother to attribute.

    This is something that is drummed into you at university, most courses include tutorials these days on proper attribution and you loose grades if you get it even slightly wrong, so that you learn early on the acknowledge your sources and be very clear what is original what is not.


    but more importantly to your dad, thank you for sharing that story of the two of you working together and the obvious fun he had with it all, especially when for all of your family things must still be feeling very raw.

  • Field Theory: Blue Sky Thinking,

    this story is so suited for campbell live.
    for the obvious reason naly-d mentioned, oh wouldn't it be great if someone had old tapes of those early days of the arc

  • Up Front: Outraged of Sockburn,

    And I have to admit that I made the decision early on not to watch OF. I can't remember why. I now regret that decision.

    i think they are showing everything from the very beginning starting next Tuesday.

    or you could pop down to the local library and rent it on DVD, i know that's how i started watching Galactica and the sopranos.

  • Hard News: Bill's Troubles,

    the law on this is a mess
    and English is the one who got his hand in the cookie jar
    but here's the thing i'm sure he's not the only one

    and quite probaly what he did was legally ok
    but i'd like to think naively think our politicians are not trying to 'work the system' but serve their country

  • Hard News: Bill's Troubles,

    Also am i wrong maybe but didn't david lange point out that all this was possible about 20 years ago.

    yet no government has ever seen fit to tidy the rules up a bit.
    Yes MPs being with their family's and partners is important, it just seems so excessive.

  • Hard News: Bill's Troubles,

    the
    "the relatively small sum at stake in his accommodation expenses problem."

    is double what most benficiaries make in a year

    they have to declare any and all income including savings (anything except kiwisaver counts) interests in trusts and assets and their benefits are reduced accordingly.

    and any chance in anything and you have to tell winz asap
