some good questioning around the News Intl scandal
She was pretty good in the bits of the hearing that I watched, not that I had any idea who she was.

Auckland has it tough
Had enough of that provincial attitude elsewhere, thanks. Did you seriously hear Aucklanders expressing anything other than joy at the rareness of yesterday's weather? Of course we're not silly enough to compare that novel dusting with the genuinely difficult conditions further south. Many of us have lived elsewhere, and we all know people who are.
As always on PA, I am very touched by people's kindness.
Long may it continue. Thinking of all of you (if warm thoughts help).

Latest from govt on minimum youth wage.
However, Key said today the Government needed to look at all the factors that might work.
"We will consider it," he told TV3's Firstline programme. "I wouldn't say we would necessarily carry it out."
There was already a training wage which covered the first 200 hours, Key said. While a youth minimum was a factor, the Government didn't want the public to believe it was the only factor.
"Because I think if it's the only factor someone's getting employed on, we're probably getting off on the wrong track here."
The Government would have a clear position on youth minimum wage before the election, Key said.
"New Zealanders will get a chance to have a look at it. I think as part of an overall package it might be considered but I wouldn't want to say it's front and centre stage, I really don't think it is."

Fair enough, I guess that's another value of culture threads.
