his conviction to the Court of Appeal for its opinion, Minister of Justice Phil Goff announced today. See... Bain Matters Referred To Court Of Appeal [1]
Howard’s End: Humankind’s Knowledge Outstripping Its Wisdom
- In a few days the Christian world will celebrate an event and a message that is said to be 2,000 years old. But it's
a much older message than that and it really doesn't matter if you're religious because the message remains relevant
today. See... Howard's End: Religion Of The Heart, Not The Knees [1]
On The Right: Mike Heine Consults His Crystal Ball
- Well, here it is. My last column for Scoop, at least for the time being. As you read this, I will be preparing to
leave Auckland, my home for the last four weeks, and going back to Nelson for a long summer consisting of swimming,
scallops, and Student Job Search. Sigh. See... On The Right: What Will, Won’t And Might Happen [1]
MOTORNET: Electrified Wellington Driving Experience
- It can be hard to attract attention around Wellington. It would seem that for many capital city dwellers, perfecting
the art of cool, collected non-chalance is a must - particularly if you’re part of the ever expanding cafe set. See... MOTORNET: A Tale Of Two Hybrids [1]
David Miller: What To Expect Of The Bush Administration On Foreign Policy
- Finally it happened. The election saga that has dominated the headlines around the world for the past month came to a
close, and after all the legal wrangling, it was announced that George W. Bush was to become the 43rd President of the
United States. See... David Miller: Shape Of Foreign Policy Under Bush [1]
It's Not Easy Being Mean

Parliament. See... Goodie Two Shoes Dunne Should Try Turning Up - Hide [1] and Nice Guys Finish Last [2] . See also... Mallard Still Parliament's Worst Behaved MP [3]

proposed in a discussion paper released today by the Attorney-General Margaret Wilson. See... A New Appeal System For New Zealand Proposed [1] REACTION - REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT Privy Council Down.

NZ ‘High Art’ Children’s Animation A Prizewinner

television prize. See... NZ-Made Animated Film Wins Prize in Europe [1]
Sludgegate Update: Closing Submission
- The closing submission from counsel for Adrian Chisholm was heard today. Chris LaHatte told the court that the key to
this case is that Auckland City Council officers persisted with a purported sewage emergency when there was no such
emergency. See... Sludgegate: Rights for Shells, or for Human Beings [1]
