might have come across stronger at the gig. the video footage was... not flattering.

more awesomer then.
the contrast to the girl of then is marked. then she was kind of belting out something a bit like wigmore. now she's definitely singing her own voice.
might send her an tweet asking her not to rap any more tho.

Sweetman's an idiot
does sweetman also do RNZ? pretty sure i heard him on summer noelle talking about NZL songs that were "shanties". if it's the same guy, he spoke about 'Not Given Lightly' being a classic.
but i'm pretty sure Not Given Lightly is a waltz.
also, Lorde's great. not my cuppa, but the two of them are writing some good songs. (i'm assuming the Lorde is still the wee girl and the friend who featured on RNZ a few years back?)

Hard News: The shaky ground of…, in reply to Russell Brown,
And it's being used on our dollar as taxpayers.
could we take a second to note that the reported spend is less than the total amount handed out to exporters because fonterra had a botulism false positive?
also, i've done a few of these. the one time the associated role was not offered it was against the advice of the testing company. that told me that the interview and references were more important.

OnPoint: Quickfisk: Youth Unemployment, in reply to Keith Ng,
Yes, NEET is important, but it's a sign of much wider disengagement, rather than a predominantly labour market issue. Also, NEET data only goes to 2011. (Not really sure why - it's just derived from the HLFS...)
i think the literature is split on that. it's a labour market issue because your NEETs are quite clearly not seeking work or education in a demography that should be.
and i think HLFS only just started including it in 2011. you can derive it if you need to.
and yeah, drawing a link between NEET rates and 90 day periods would likely be drawing a long bow. but... the remainder of the data in the HLFS might let you know if it is correlated. i'd imagine the question is access.
-
so why no mention of the NEET rate? surely it's an important measure to include in any analysis for this age group?

RB, a suggestion based on personal opinion: can do drop all the "centre"-right stuff?
It gives them an air of reasonableness that your story deflates.
:D
