You think thats scary, you want to see what a bunch of heavily drunken men looks like:)
but at least for women, a quick trip to the bathroom and a subtle application of 'thin lizzy' means they can once again get amongst it with little or no sideways glances...
...i got so horribly pissed one time i had to take out the louvres in the toilet window, climb out and stagger home rather than face the judging crowd

National MPs I've had the experience of dealing with (mainly in select committees) seem to think that for the most part business in NZ is overregulated and that laws that protect workers and customers are an impediment. "Common sense" will rule the day, they tell me. Watering down the committee weakens its ability to impose on businesses.
the reality is...
We all know very well that many organisations could strip out layers of overpaid managers with no effect on the delivery of services at all. The ruling wisdom has it that to increase 'efficiency' you cut the number of workers; in fact, most organisations would be far more efficient if you cut the number of managers. The populist furore about bankers and MPs' expenses suggests a change in mood, even in the mass media, which could be harnessed. A propaganda battle has to be aggressively fought. The party ought to be over for the managerialist parasites, but no-one gives up wealth and power voluntarily, they will have to be forced to relinquish it. At one level, it's a simple matter of behaviourial psychology: middle managers and politicans impose the restoration agenda because they only have one lobby (the organised super-rich) leaning on them. It's the path of least resistance. But if there is upward pressure from the bottom that will change the political 'reality'.

a very good deal are driven by the private passion of a CEO, or key players on the board, or an influential sponsorship manager who weighs approaches and decides which are worthwhile, will assist local/national interest perspectives and have am upbeat rub-off factor for the company and its people.
If you look across the entire NZ spectrum - State energy company sponsoring Opera, NZ Herald owner the Auck Phil
fuck opera and the auck phil, fuck the am cup and pro sports sponsorship altogether. isn't it all about the rub off factor...just a big ego wank for the cracka ass knobs to get a corporate box ?
business by law should have a percentage of socially responsible donations made available from profits but then again, i reckon executive salaries should be capped at less than 250k a year, performance bonuses should be abolished and one day a month all execs should swap jobs with some lowly employee for a day:)

hmmmm...maybe there really is something prophetic about 2012.
was at a party the other night and some cute canadian good time traveller was talking about all the places she'd been, the drugs she'd taken blah blah blah and the conversation turned to movies. 2012 came up and she starts talking about the start of the mayan calender as oppposed to the end of the world so i threw in, it's probably when the aliens will reveal themselves and that pretty much killed the conversation...i laughed:)
