"Aw Jeez Boss, couldn't we just share our password and access to the kiosk so that when those local jobs come in we can put them onto the kiosk real quick and then get on with that other work we have to do since the last layoffs?"
You know, like how much easier it is to leave the car door unlocked in the garage so that when we want to use it it is no hassles (guilty). Those remote door openers are good too (guilty). And 1,2,3,4 on my eftpos card is easy to remember (NOT guilty!). Hide my hand while punching in the number (Most certainly!)? What are ya?
I have to say though, the security on PDFs from the Govt has improved out of sight since we discovered the "blacked out" bits were being made inaccessible by changing the font to white......
Well done Keith. Bet you the heart was beating more each time you went in just in case the leak had been found and you might get busted. Anyone wanna vote him for Wellingtonian of the Year?

Fletcher said “exhaustive enquries” at the GCSB have revealed no video tape. Still photographs exist but would not be released because they identify staff at the super-secret agency.An investigation was now underway into the ‘‘leak’’ at the agency, he said.
“The department has made exhaustive enquiries of its records and its IT systems, and can find no audio-visual recording of the Prime Minister’s visit to GCSB on 29 February 2012,” he said in a written statement.
“An investigation has commenced within GCSB as to whether there has been any unauthorised disclosure of information, and if so, its source."
Nope. Hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. Lets go for the messenger!!!
But hang on a minute……if there has been an “unauthorised disclosure of information"…I wonder who they are looking for if there is no video???

Checkpoint monday night: (18 minutes)
Chat to a Finnish " Expert on Education Reform" who spoke at Teachers conference in Rotorua. Finland: No Nat standards. Education system based on equity not achievement. Controlled at the municipality level......
Finishes with:
"Finland lacks the extreme excellencies and the extreme poor schools."
Katherine: "Everyone is kind of average."
" That's what makes the Finnish taxpayer very happy where the education and schooling of your children is never a topic at the dinner table."

Hey Peter. See if you can get the PM to sort out a meeting.
Mr PM. along with Hobitt, we want to get that megaupload crowd. What with your subsidy we still can't make a buck.
Can we get him? we'll sort it out our end with the FBI.
Yup. OK, We'll get our boys to have a sniff around.

Keith: "From the stuff you guys have been doing on class sizes, I don't think you have the capacity to do that. The things you were doing with class sizes was not up to scratch". And then Hartevelt had to gall to then tell Keith that "we have analysed our data and there was a weak association but it was an association".
HELLO, Keith was being polite. Ummmm...he was dissing you.
IF you ask the right question, IF you collect the right data, IF you analyse it meaningfully, THEN you might - might - have an opportunity to come up with something which may or may not be the answer you are looking for. Fairfax: Fail. Fail, Fail. Fail.
50% of kids are failures. But it is OK, 1 in 2 kids are above average and that's because half the kids are below average. But it is OK, the average is close to the countrys median. But the shocking revelation is that half of the whole country is below average intelligence. So it makes sense...doesn't it.
Oh yes, an admission on Media Watch this morning: Well, yes, one of the most important things to do is to make sure we get the story out first. To hell with the facts!
These guys have probably got BA's in letters but lacking in the numbers. Write but get it wrong.

Does this " Foreign National" link help?
It reeks of the GCSB/Police (again!) being Amerikanized by their definition.

It struck me that the GCSB is an intelligence gathering agency. They don't seem to have enough.
