@ JT only
but disagree as you choose to only look to the establishment for recognition and acceptance.
Nah, just that I don't think Islander is that exclusive. No offence meant.

Aroha nui
I think, not so JT. A sculpture Islander, and a few of us donated tonight to the Rehab+ in Auckland was aptly named " Arohanui, Homai o Homai"
Islander, you have mail :))) -
is the profoundly entrenched Pakeha snobbery that runs deep and cuttingly and vilely throughout the place.
I pretty much reckon that is exactly why my extremely tanned Father and very white Mother chose to move to Auckland in the first few years of their marriage.

I have Sky - because that's the only way I can get Maori TV on my part of the Coast.
My Mum is getting Sky for the first time because she thinks that late TV is mostly shite. She is biting the bullet to just "do it". She wants a choice and I suggested Sky would be up her alley as she can tune in with the U.S as well which is a huge part of her life anyway.

The Airlines, including Air NZ are quite friendly with each other and any research been (being)done would certainly be shared amongst each other. The fact that all airlines rely on each other to coordinate good service (I know that sounds rediculous but I know it's true) means that for one to fly, they probably all agreed, depending on destinations. It is beneficicial for all of them to get this right and I think there reluctance for so long shows an air (teehee) of some responsibility. None of them would welcome a disaster for the sake of a few quid.(in the corporate sense)

I thought it doubly cruel that those delayed first are now being told to cough up for another ticket. Was hoping to confirm this detail today but my friend is busy over at Air Traffic Control. I guess they are moving people asap.I do agree though that the dollar has to have been prudent.

Passengers with current tickets were being given priority - stranded passengers were being told to either pay for a new ticket, take the first available flight or to use their old ticket and wait for days, or weeks, for the first available seat.

With due respect to those who might do this for self-betterment or as part of their job, when I start listening to question time, I will be beyond help.
I'd agree (being an avid watcher) that watching PTV can at times test ones patience, because when it's bad ,it's very very bad but when it's good, it makes me proud to be in this country. Just as we are seeing in the House at the moment with the 2nd reading of the Waikato- Tainui Raupatu Claims(Waikato River) Settlement Bill.

Being ugly and useful does not prevent something having heritage values.
I so want to drop a former politician in this conversation,
I so want to drop a politician (heritage value or not) into the long drop.
