Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Stephen Judd,
Basically, as always, it's the Jews who are to blame.
Ian's link appears to draw on this conspiracist school. While a few alleged evildoers of the Hebronic persuasion might well get tarred with the occasional stray allegation, the core claims are largely about the alleged power of the long-dead Aristotle Onassis, and the influence of the mafia on international politics.
While all of that may appear a little quaint in the age of ISS and Rupert Murdoch, the discovery of a pivotal figure from that distant era who's very much alive promises to put a rather different spin on some aspects of conventional history. Unless, of course, he vanishes for good this time.

Hey I'm no dietician but I reckon there's enough protein in that bassline to sustain an entire family for a week on just one listen.

Yeah. And my home-made pasta sauce has wine in it.
For some reason I was reminded of my mother's Christchurch next door neighbour back in the Muldoon era, who was the public face of an organisation called CARP, aka Campaign Against Rising Prices. When she listed chocolate biscuits among the items which had recently undergone a steep price rise she received an abusive call from an angry Fendalton lady who told her "You people shouldn't have chocolate biscuits!"

So, is wine and beer from the supermarket food?
If it's any help, the last time I looked emergency vouchers issued by certain welfare agencies, redeemable at Pak'nSave, were endorsed to prevent their being used to purchase booze.

Pip Adam's short story Zero Hours does a far better job than this post in articulating this situation for friends, neighbours, ourselves.
Thank you for that. Someone pointed me to it the other day, it's a superb piece of work.

As an historical side note, Campbell Park, mentioned in John McRae's Becoming A Person as one of the former institutions where the remarkable Robert Martin was incarcerated, is up for sale.

And a very good piece from Te Manu Korihi a couple of months ago...
Again, the socio-economic gap is identified as a significant factor. Claiming that this is all about "education and awarenesss" implies that Maori are entirely the authors of their own misfortune.
