TOP SCOOPS
Scoop Gets Technology N-ADS Installed
- Only on Scoop. In association with Oktobor. A new form of expression. N-ADS. See…SCOOP'S SCI-TECH SECTION [1] for a demonstration or SCOOP ADVISORY [2] for an explanation.
Sludge: How Colin Powell Could Be President
- In the spirit of irrational optimism that C.D. Sludge is so fond of, the following relatively painless resolution is
offered as an effective manner to resolve Indecision 2000 in time for Christmas. See... Sludge Report #45 – The Next President [1]
Rosalea Barker: Behind The Red Velvet Curtain
- Chaos. Bifurcation. CNN. Wizard of Oz. Red velvet curtains. I swear my cellular neural networks are all in a pother
over this United States Supreme Court thang. Hoorah for audio transcripts, court reporters and those folks who do the
lovely drawings in courtrooms. See... Rosalea Barker: Radio With Pictures [1]
Scoop Images: Celebrities And The Simply Fabulous Fundraise For AIDS
- Local events marking World AIDS Day Friday have been the largest and most widespread so far, and should raise twice
as much money as in 1999 according to New Zealand Aids Foundation spokesman Johnathan Smith. See... Scoop Images: NZ marks World AIDS Day [1]
Howard’s End: Do You Believe In You?
- Despite a welcome return to income-related rents for State-housing tenants, one Christchurch family of two adults and
an eleven-year-old child had been eating twice a week at the Salvation Army soup kitchen and still has to exist on just
$66 a week for groceries. See... Howard's End: Do You Believe In You? [1]
Prebble’s Letter From Wellington
- ACT is giving New Zealanders the opportunity to have their say on accident compensation. ACC spokesman and ACT Deputy
Leader, Ken Shirley, believes (and select committee submissions support) that many New Zealanders enjoyed the dramatic
levy drops and less adversarial claim environment that nine months of limited competition produced. See... Richard Prebble's Letter From Wellington #41 [1]
National Informs
- Annette King tried her hardest to spin the Health Bill's rough ride through the House as “MMP in action,” but it was
abundantly clear that Labour cocked up the passing of such keynote legislation. See... The Informer - Sunday 3 December 2000 - #28 [1]
Heed Immigration Warnings From Australia, Govt Urged
- The Australian Minster of Immigration, Phillip Ruddock’s suggestion that “New Zealand has to focus on what it is that
has led to a very significant movement of their own people. New Zealand has seen a very significant exodus of its
population” should not be dismissed by the government, said Hon Richard Prebble. See... Australian Immigration Minister Doing Govt. Favour [1] and PM on trans-Tasman immigration issues [2]
Bill English Says He Won’t Challenge The National Leadership
- “I would like to repeat what my Caucus colleagues and I have already said: that leadership is not an issue in the
National Caucus, despite speculation in the media. I have not raised the leadership issue in public or in the caucus.”
See... Statement in response to media speculation [1]
Media Flash: Keeping The Bastards Honest
- Richard Walsh, co-founder of Oz in the 60's, editor of the Nation Review in the 70's and now a trusted alternative
media advisor to the City Hub, forwarded the latest edition of the media industry newsletter, Media Flash to my
attention. See... Keeping The Bastards Honest [1]
NZ Red Wine Rich With Antioxidants
- It’s good news for red wine drinkers and even better for the New Zealand wine industry; New Zealand’s reds are right
up there in the good-for-your-health stakes, according to the results of research carried out on Waiheke reds. See... Green Light For NZ Reds [1]
Paratroopers Drop Into Already Explosive West Papua Situation
- We have received very distressing news that overnight (2nd-3rd Dec) thousands(!) of Indonesian troops have parachuted
