Hard News: Press Play > Budget, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
It was Local and outside Iwi that negotiated a fair deal for the workers.
"fair" being a euphemism for:
Striking Wairoa worker Dana Irwin on Talley's chief executive Peter Talley.

Hard News: Press Play > Budget, in reply to Kumara Republic,
That’s confounding DeepRed, great work! Back home over Easter the road we were travelling was blocked (by mud and a tree that had slipped down the hill in the rain), we and everyone else without a DeLorean were forced to backtrack and hold up overnight, queuing until the road was reopened at 4pm the following day. Admittedly the Government can’t control the weather and sure it was only State Highway number 2 that was closed, but with the Talleys protest in Wairoa and murmurings about the amalgamation of local district councils and fire districts I was left with the distinct image of a nation tourniqeting itself off the map piece by miserable piece.

...and pretty cocky for a public servant.
Dem's fighting words. If there was any doubt about how ineffectual the (student) protest movement is in New Zealand....their adversary is now egging them on...

Capture: Cats Love Cameras, in reply to Nora Leggs,
too well fed to care about a little sparrow?
It's a little embarrassing for him actually. He came in and on seeing the camera promptly laid out in his best centerfold pose. Being an indoors cat he didn't click that the bird wasn't an inanimate object until it chirped, at which point cat had to be forcibly restrained.
Little bird hung around for a few hours suffering intermittent visits from mum yelling "fly bird fly!" Eventually bird flew.

Hard News: Press Play > Budget, in reply to Matthew Poole,
I’m not sure the work will dry up
Nothing to do with employment.
Oh. I was toying with the idea of someone like my grandmother who employs an old family friend to help out around he house (mon-fri) suddenly feeling whimsically inclined to do the work herself rather than allow the Government's talons a scratch of this newly nonrefundable. As it is, the likelihood of that being declared now slips down to not at all.
