Keith Rankin: Marginalised Males And The Suicide Problem
- We are starting to acknowledge that suicide is a topic that must be discussed and discussed openly. But in New
Zealand almost all the media references are to youth suicide. However in 1998 - the latest year for which New Zealand
suicide statistics have been published - 57 percent of suicides were by men aged over 25. See... Keith Rankin: The Last Taboo [1]
New York Markets Do The Dead Cat Bounce
- A few days of confidence on the New York stock markets early this week gave way overnight to another rout, taking the
world leading markets back close to their two year low levels of last week. In other words this week’s brief return to
confidence on Wall has turned out to be yet another dead cat bounce. See... New York Markets Do The Dead Cat Bounce [1]
Begging The Question: What future for Kiwis in Oz?
- It’s now a month since New Zealanders ceased to be de facto Australians, free to attain the status of “permanent
residents” simply by setting foot across the Tasman and doing time. In his debut Scoop column Jimmy Solen rings the
changes. See... Begging The Question: What future for Kiwis in Oz? [1] . See also.. Australian social security agreement signed [2]
Lindsay Perigo: The Alternative Opposition
- Yesterday we discussed the absence of any effective parliamentary opposition to the current government. Not one
caller rang to defend the performance of National or ACT. See... Lindsay Perigo: "Where's The Opposition?" [1]
US Piking On Kyoto Protocol Disgust’s Greens
- Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons today called on the Prime Minister to convey New Zealand's anger to US
President George Bush over his decision to abandon the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. See...

again, being near Dannenberg where the castor containers are to be loaded onto vans, heading to the repository in
Gorleben. See... Nuclear Protests: Castor Train Is Moving Again [3] . See also… News from anti-nuclear protests in the Wendland [4] and Scoop Images: The Battle Of Dannenberg [5]
Govt Backs Down On Taranaki Lessees Tax

a capital gains tax on Taranaki and West Coast leasehold farmers. See...

Offenders Should Pay Their Dues And No More - Tanczos
- The purpose of the Clean Slate bill is, as the explanatory note says, to ensure the fair administration of justice
for those offenders who have committed minor crimes and are unlikely to re-offend. See... Clean Slate Bill Introduction Speech - Tanczos [1] . See also... Dunne To Correct Miscast ‘Clean Slate' Bill Vote [2]
Opposition Painting Reinstated Hobbs The Mind Controlling Socialist
- Marian Hobbs is back to her old tricks after just one day back in the job, ACT Broadcasting Spokesman Penny Webster
said today. See... Hobbs Gets Back to Her Old Tricks - ACT [1] and Quota talk shows Hobbs still out of touch - Nats [2]
Scoop World: Israel Strikes Palestinian Targets
- It is too early to assess the results of the strike. I can say, however, that we hit one target in Ramallah and four
targets in the Gaza Strip. Among these targets were a weapons depot, a Force 17 installation, a training base of the
Presidential Guard, and several armored vehicles. See... General Ron Kitry's Remarks On The 28 March Strike [1]
