    Art Official Intelligence...

    Surrealism maybe?

    Modernism even?
    But no Site-Specific works thanks...

    Sell sword, sells words... ?

    Vanishing Jason was masterful, but he must remain silent awhile longer.

    Bets on whether it's broken in the Woman's Weekly or similar, before the critical or analytic media...

  • Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe,

    I see you ...
    Don't know about anyone else, but to be honest, I found it a bit creepy to have personally addressed mail from both John Key and Labour*, pre-election... Slick, but ultimately impersonal, soulless ...

    and I got the 'Phone Call' from Dave,
    John never rang...

    sob!

    <* and, yes, I did help deliver some of that, too...>

    MosCow Knights...
    Not to worry, once this Ukraine thing blows over, we'll be in clover!

    Fonterra chief executive dairy Theo Spierings accompanied Groser to Moscow in May. Russians were reported as apparently wooing Fonterra to invest in dairy farms, including in eastern Russia.
    Groser admitted he had been encouraging Fonterra to invest in the Russian dairy industry, which needed help to boost productivity.

    What could possibly go wrong....

  • Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Russell Brown,

    One sighs… fits all…?

    I can’t see any scenario involving his re-election as party leader which isn’t a complete disaster.

    Does that say more about him
    or the Labour people voting for him?

    Which entity has changed most from core ‘Labour Values’?

    Is it time to scrap the executive and start again from the electorate up ?
    Perhaps a ‘change places day’ just so the upper echelons all know what each others shoes, and paths, feel like… real world.

    They do have to please themselves before they can even start to please the rest of the country…

    As there is a great schism in this country already, why not embrace it and work with it…
    Two* Labour leaders, one each looking after and communicating the needs of Citizen NZ and Corporate NZ, but working together to ensure there is an NZ!

    it is effectively what is trying to happen now
    (ignoring the prevailing Pushmi-pullyu model)

    ;- )

    </simplistic world view>

    <edit> * Triumvirate could work as well!
    as pointed out above</edit>

  • Capture: The Colour Of Spring, in reply to Nora Leggs,

    ...the current spring feels sullied

    I know, but Autumn seems a much better 'fit' for the 'Sully Season' (as Aussies would have us Kiwis saying, rotters!)...
