Thanks pollywog: I cross fertilised your link to red Alert.
If the partisan Herald writes so in an Editorial, something must have stirred them. Be interesting. (Dated 3:59 am. Funny I missed it?)

If your mouse has a scroll button and you’re using firefox, try using that to click links.

Mind if I join in this customer focus group?

Can we please have it so that when a link is clinked a new tab/page is opened instead of dropping The Standard. So often I click away, get interested in something and wander off and then have to fire up The Standard again. Petty, trivial, yes, I could use the right-click but customer is King and all that blah blah.

Chur bro.

Key needs to show English the revolving door that leads back to Dipton over this cos
when the Herald says…

What is needed here is a good dose of openness, transparency and accountability. National expended a lot of energy criticising the previous Government on these grounds.

Now it needs to show the courage of its convictions and explain how and why the allocation was made in the first place.

Anything less will feed the fires of suspicion.

In the last HoS I counted seven articles either directly or indirectly related to smearing Labour MP’s expenses, most of them recycled fluff milking the last drops of emotive impact for propaganda purposes. OK so it had been the story of the week.

But here’s the kicker… I could find nothing, that’s right zero, about ANYTHING the govt was actually doing, neither positive or negative.

Lynn, can you stop back-links from showing up in the comments counter? As I type this, it says there are 22 comments, but there are only 6 and the rest are links. Also several of the links are appearing 2 or 3 times each, as well.

This appropriation is limited to the purchase of services from third party providers to support improved education, skill development, and entrepreneurship of Pacific peoples in Auckland. . . . [snip] . . . An additional $1.200 million in funding is being provided for 4 years to fund programmes aimed at improving Pacific Economic Development in Auckland.

I suppose the argument could be made that keeping Sleepy Sam elected is, sorta, kinda an education, skill development, and entrepreneurship endeavour and so too is having someone of his calibre a form of improving PI economic development in Auckland. He is, after all, learning from the masters of turning public service into nothing but a series of economic opportunities for people of the same ilk.

Lynn – we have a breach in the spam wall! See links below. I won’t clean it up, I’ll leave it as is for you to diagnose. Sorry about the spam people.

What infuriates me most about this is that if it had been a Labour Government doing this it would have been all over the news for days on end -”race related funding, dirty deals and corruption”.
I’d be ashamed to work for any of our news outlets these days.

Just another give away of taxpayer money to NACTs mates. The misdirection that Blinglish and Te Heuheu are engaging in just shows how unaccountable to those taxpayers (us) that the NACTs wish to be.
