The 2025 taskforce report blithely assumes it's all bludgers. Because they believe in serious and thoughtful research.

V?
Yep. Hi.
He's a Visitor. Seize him!

But then I'm not sure I'd want to go on living.

We've just confirmed Tim Pankhurst, chair of the Commonwealth Press Union's media freedom commitee, for the show.
The former editor of the DomPost is now the chair of the Commonwealth Press Union's media freedom commitee?
Just as well I'm sitting on the right chair.

Major city centres are a little different and have some dispensations. Some family run businesses might be open at odd hours. But you'll still find bugger all open for Easter and very little open on a Sunday.
I get emails from the supermarket in Mum's area when they open on a Sunday, just to give you an idea, and it's a fairly major operation.

ps. could you do the same for national standards please. ;-)
Hah! Actually, though, I didn't think the NZEI leflet was too bad.

On consideration, I'll take my lifelong knowledge of Italian shopping hours over the one holiday you had in Rome.

I'm impressed that you taught him to walk past the golden arches
I said it was open. I didn't say we went in it. Not because I have anything against it, but the icecream at gelateria Marghera is something you need to try before you die.

Sounds awesome. They can even manage to keep things open, too.
And again: no, they don't. In Southern Europe at least most shops are closed on Sundays. And you won't find a thing open for Easter in Italy, in fact I remember a fairly epic walk with my son to get ice-cream on Easter Monday two years ago - we went for miles to find the one place I knew would be open and the only other place we found open on the way was a McDonald's. And that was the Monday.

The Wellington Declaration is a beautiful, clear piece of writing
That it is.
