TOP SCOOPS
Big News On G8: Relief Agencies, Debt Campaigners And Rock Stars Condemn Violent Anarchists
- Last weekends G8 summit in Genoa, Italy – the last of it’s kind - will be remembered for Europe’s worst rioting,

munificence towards certain impoverished nations was being delivered to my mailbox. See... Stateside with Rosalea: What's In A Name? [1]
Howard’s End: From Council To Corporate Tables
- They're Back! Economic rationalists such as former Australian PM Paul Keating who undermined the bargaining power of
workers and dismantled Australia's economic defences, along with Harvard University's Dr Michael Porter of the Roger
Douglas era, are scheduled to speak to 450 hand-picked attendees at an Auckland conference on August 1 entitled
"Catching the Knowledge Wave." Lock up the silver! See... Howard's End: The Carpetbaggers Return [1]
National Leader Jenny Shipley Speaks At 65th Annual Conference

students are passionate about learning, and enthusiastic, innovative and entrepreneurial in their pursuit of excellence.

Newly Legislated Relationships PR Campaign
- National MP Tony Ryall says the Government's $300,000 campaign to inform New Zealanders about the implications of the
Property (Relationships) Amendment Act is completely inadequate. See... Campaign Starts Before 'Broken Hearts Day' [1] and Info campaign on Property (Relationships) Act [2]

variations of them as a trade mark. See... Creative New Zealand - Money Down The Drain [1]

figures released today. See... Latest Radiation Oncology Treatment Waiting Times [1]
Double Cot Death: It Was The Mattress

G8: Kiwi Eyewitness To Brutal Police Attack On Indymedia
- “We were in the pub having a few drinks and discussing the arrest of two of my comrades ( another three were later
arrested but all five have now been released). Two bus loads of polizia in full riot gear drove past and parked. They
ran from there to the centre. Within a few minutes an ambulance arrived (I think they automatically attend when the riot
police attack)." See... Scoop Images: Police Brutally Attack Indymedia [1]
G8: Violence And Death In The Streets Of Genoa
- The streets of Genoa are today strewn with the debris of two days of running battles between thousands of
