Freezing cold southerly and horizontal rain greeting shocked lightly clad visitors at Wellington airport tonight. Just a reminder I suppose to take nothing for granted, even summer.

I love how these Access posts sometimes go on for months. What a great Access Archive (thanks again Russell). However, also shows that problems raised are often not addressed.

No Widows’ Benefit any more. Paula Bennett got rid of it a couple of years ago. There is just the Jobseeker and you are expected to look for work regardless of grief, kids etc. And the Sole Parent which expects work unless children are just babies.

Hard News: Art with a job to do, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Best to only number the ones you really like. I urged people not to number the Lockwoods at all so there would be no preferences to transfer. In Wellington we are getting more used to STV as it has been used in local body elections for several years now, and for wards with only a few candidates. Mostly I only number one or two candidates - those I really want to win - and leave the rest unnumbered.
