from the horses mouth….if only the befuddled JP would let her speak
Quick play some music over the top of Dita before she tells everyone what the hell is going on in media and so the host doesn’t feel too awkward.
Yep I heard her talk and I thought it was the most important thing said on Nat Rad today and she was cut off and trivialised …
Sounded like Jim wasn’t too happy at the end there!
Thanks for the link Pat!

[Thanks Anne.
One of my daily jobs is to scour Facebook and twitter and find the ultimate graphic. I had a couple of other potential graphics but they were really pushing the boundaries … MS]

Believe it or not there are still scientists that refuse to think man capable of effecting the earths climate. This article was also in the free rural rag

Yes there are still a couple of “scientists” who for what ever reason – mainly funding from the Oil industry – have closed their minds to reality. And reported in NZ Farmer! Well knock me down with a feather!
He is a fertilizer seller and rather ironically attacks anything non mainstream because if it isn’t backed by solid science , put this up in the hope that someone cleverer than me might rebutt his claims in a letter to nz farmer.

Government sends major Canterbury contract to Australia
The big question: Who’s actually going to build it?
Because I’m pretty sure that it will be local NZers with the Australian firm being nothing more than ticket clippers.
Or just there to force down wages.
This should be a big banner head line in the news like
National doesn’t trust New Zealand businesses
This is what the TPPA will do to the price of drugs in NZ:
Thing is, a drug that old shouldn’t even have any such exclusive rights left.
Why is the example you give of any relevance to NZ funding of pharmaceuticals ?
Because we’re going to see US copyright/patent laws imposed upon NZ if we sign the TPPA.
Even if that is the case which is highly doubtful as to how it might affect pharmaceuticals in NZ, the product that you have highlighted is out of patent.
The price has more to do with a ‘dysfunctional market’ in the USA if you like, as no one else has registered the drug in the USA. In NZ the medicine used here isn’t even registered by Medsafe as it’s so seldom used and it’s supplied under what’s known as Section 29 for unregistered medicines at around $37 per 50tabs.
