    I'll stick to the more informed pundits on here.

    Same - so I'll take Simon Grigg's stats over your opinions about album sales trends, if that's all the same. Like albums myself, just not silly enough to think that makes me the standard consumer propping up the music industry.

    I guess it will be a good test of who's really calling the tune, given the disparity between the latest 30 year regional transport strategy and the govt's funding priorities - nice comparative graph.

    antibusiness practices

    that might be the problematic phrase - you're setting up a binary opposition rather than a spectrum of different approaches

    I'd love to hear a thoughtful analysis of what the system of governance is, if not fascist.

    I'm sure that might be interesting for you, but what difference would it make? How will you apply and share that understanding?

    Saturday evening. 9.30 - midnight

    I take it that means an extra half hour of delightful advertising in a two hour show. Or will tack on a Reunion Special like Survivor does?

    That's not to say that Rodney had actually done that salute; but a photo of him stretching out his hand to make a point had been slightly skewed so that the hand went up, instead of out. The intention of the image maker was pretty clear and no-one without a shred of history could not mistake the image.

    It's a real, unmanipulated photo - and yes, it was used by the Standard and others to make associations with the ends-justify-the means dodginess that people are finding so hard to name. The shaved head must be tempting.

    I reckon focus on describing the behaviour and what it implies in concrete terms so more people can see it for what it its. Abstracted labels do not seem helpful here. If any child behaved this outrageously they would be told off forcefully and directly - try using some of that choice language instead.

    No

    Smith and Carter's ECAN'T debacle

    Yes

    any programme of reform within that portfolio area must have the full backing of the whole Government

    Exactly
