TOP SCOOPS
Keith Rankin: Out of Eden; a Multi-Millennial Story
- While the millennium year didn't exactly feature a surfeit of historical reflection or futurist speculation, history
is nevertheless making a bit of a comeback, in particular through biographies that are as much about past times as they
are about their subjects. Longitude and Gallileo's Daughter are two such books that spring to mind. See… Keith Rankin: Out of Eden; a Multi-Millennial Story [1]
Japanese Sealord Buy-In Approved
- Finance Minister Michael Cullen and Fisheries Minister Pete Hodgson have approved the sale of BIL's 50 percent
shareholding in Sealord to the Treaty of Waitangi Fisheries Commission [Te Ohu Kai Moana] and Japanese seafood company
Nissui. See... Govt approves Sealord deal [1] and Seafood Industry Welcomes Resolution Of Sealord Deal [2]
1.2 Per Cent CPI Rise For December Quarter
- The Consumers Price Index (CPI) rose by 1.2 per cent in the December 2000 quarter, latest figures from Statistics New
Zealand show. This rise follows an increase of 1.4 per cent in the September 2000 quarter. The CPI is now 4.0 per cent
higher than a year ago. See... CPI Rises 1.2 Per Cent [1] . Food prices rose 0.7 per cent between November and December 2000 and are 4.8 per cent higher than in December
1999, according to Statistics New Zealand. See... Food Prices Rise 0.7 Per Cent [2] REACTION - GOVT - Inflation Spike Temporary - Cullen [3] - ACT - Workers Slip Behind, Govt Reaps Inflation Windfall [4] - NATS - Kiwi Families Worse Off Under Labour [5]
Supercomputer Weather: US Weather Remains Extreme
- It appears United States weather is not yet ready to return to anything approaching normal with long range weather
forecasts signalling a big storm heading for Washington DC and New York on January 20th-21st , the day scheduled for
President Elect George. W. Bush’s inauguration. See… Supercomputer Weather: Storm Warning For Dubya [1]
Highland Letter: I'll Have My Politics Without The Celebrities Thanks
- Harry Potter has yet to graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, yet he may be about to make his
political debut. See… Highland Letter: Politics Without The Celebrities [1]
Housing NZ Holidays Fair Reward For Unpaid Hours - PSA
- The three days extra leave granted to Housing New Zealand staff at Christmas was an entirely justified recognition of
the unpaid hours they put in throughout the year to implement the government’s new income-related rents policy the PSA
says. See… Extra Leave ‘Entirely Justified’ - PSA [1]
Fiji: Regime Undermining Speight Treason Case
- The military backed interim regime is sabotaging the process of arguing charges against the country's coup plotters,
states veteran Pacific region journalist Michael Field. See… Regime And Police Are Undermining Treason Case [1]
Scoop Feedback: Saddam Is The Real Rat
- It concerns me very deeply to hear that a nice country like NZ has bleeding hearts that would protest the U.S.
Embassy rather than the Iraqi Embassy over the sanctions affair. Scoop Feedback: Sanctions Kill Children! [1] See also... Scoop Images: Flowers For Children [2] and Iraq protests on Tuesday [3]
Scoop Arts: Neil Finn Bypasses The Tour Bus
- Thanks to the Internet, Kiwi music legend Neil Finn has discovered you don’t have to go on tour to perform live to
fans around the world. Kiwi Music Goes Global Via The Internet [1]
