From the NZEI today Today’s meeting was constructive. As public sector unions, we discussed with the Minister how we want to move forward. At the meeting, together we all agreed: That bargaining will be in good faith with no predetermined outcomes There ...

This guy has started appearing the Hawke's Bay Today on Saturdays apparently as a counter to Mike William's column. Further proof of the local rag's pro National leanings and maybe a sign they are worried. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/...

Maybe this explains things a little more clearly. Can't say I take anything the Taxpayers Onion comes with seriously. http://publicaddress.net/hardnews/taxpayers-union-still-stupid-cynical-and/
Rod Oram has said much the same thing in the Sunday Star Times today. Somebody else who knows what he is talking about.

Kevin McLeod Escapes to the Wild. Not so much a design/building programme. More a travelling to the ends of the earth to see people living in remote places. Mostly Brits.
I know in the scheme of things it's a first world problem but it shows the complete dumbing down of things by TV3 when they replace Kevin McLeod's newest series with the Simpsons with no notice even though it was advertised in the listener and it appears ...

Further dumbing down of our media. http://www.tewahanui.info/index.php/longstanding-critics-quit-after-changes-to-listeners-music-column/
Tweeted by Helen Kelly. Groser confirms 2 Parliament that there will be no TPPA unless it includes a clause for corporations 2 sue NZ Govt for health, education policies etc.
