For the record ..why is the Director-General of Health suppressing information over the goings-on at the Hawkes Bay DHB?

This is something I would expect if there was a possibility of charges being laid. As such I’m not about to go round getting paranoid about it just yet.

Insider – just to clarify – I was definitely implying that monty was drunk, not yourself (you have a rationality and coherence he was lacking back there).

As for your question (from about 5pm yesterday) – ‘wages’ implies not the rich fellers on salaries, but those on wages (as opposed to salaries). Wages dropping would imply to me businesses paying employees less. I’ve said this elsewhere but I Key would want wages to drop where they are artificially inflated (in his eyes, where anything non-market is an intervention and therefore bad), minimum wages, collective bargaining and the like.

For the record…..why is the Director-General of Health suppressing information over the goings-on at the Hawkes Bay DHB? Could it be that the contents of the suppressed report would be damaging to the government?

Don’t go too crazy Burt. WordPress (on which The Standard is based) only recognises a subset of tags:

Take my advice Burt, work on your objectivity rather than your html.

I can now use it as a preview feature if I have a truck load of html tags and want to verify the formatting is as planned.

You can now also use the new burt preview ® feature as well. Go on, get bold, blockquoted, knock yourself out.

Here is a helpful guide;

I have a question, although it might be one for â€˜lprent’. If I stuff up the captcha and my comments appears in the thread, is it just me who can see it or can others also see it?

Nope. Recaptcha uses this interesting bit of javascript in the page. If you look at the page source you can find it near the bottom.

It pops the comment onto the screen where you can see it, but fails to go to the database. It is kind of cute, but a total pain when it fails because you ‘see’ it, but no-one else can. There is an update that fixes it, but to date I haven’t had time to do more than test it.

As other people have noted, we have to work as well – a thread problem with xlib at present for a new product. Hopefully this weekend. I have a number of plugin’s to put in, but I need repair the older posts and comments. They took some character set damage while shifting around MySQL versions.

Don’t get me started. It’s outrageous, do you think Annette King ever had dinner with Peter Hausmann? Do you think they discussed his appointment and his interests in Healthcare NZ? It’s got shabby written all over it.
