Hard News: On Science, in reply to Russell Brown,
True. Performers don't usually have to spend significant time creating and delivering the pitch (unless they are also producers).
You could argue some staff in CRIs and tertiary institutions are the equivalent of the producers whose job is to secure the resources. Sadly, such "back-office" jobs are regarded as superfluous by this clueless government, and there are plenty of highly-trained scientists filling out forms - or heading overseas where their expertise is valued.

Muse: The Very Odd Future According to…, in reply to Keir Leslie,
assuming that Coney's actions are unlawful
Am I right in thinking we don't have any evidence yet of Councillor Coney actually *doing* anything. Only a claim of influence over a commercial organisation's decision to not contract another party as a performer.

Hard News: We interrupt this broadcast ..., in reply to Russell Brown,
Peters declared he wouldn't share a coalition with the Greens
Dunne too. Campbell is coloured by his Greens involvement as Bryce Edwards by the Alliance.
However I've heard from someone centrally involved in the Labour-Greens negotiations in those earlier elections that 'shafted' would be a polite way of putting it.
