Evening Post To Fold Into Dom, 80-90 Jobs To Go
- Independent Newspapers Limited today announced a proposal to merge the two Wellington daily newspapers, The Dominion
and The Evening Post, into a new morning newspaper, The Dominion Post. See... New Newspaper Proposed - The Dominion Post [1] and Scoop Link: Post/Dominion Merge Planned [2]
Howard’s End: Smart Money’s On Gold
- If the U.S. economy is recovering why are stocks going down? If buying and holding stocks is such a smart idea why is
the “smart money” deserting the U.S. dollar and buying into gold? Maree Howard writes. See... Howard's End: Bank Says Gold Set To Go Ballistic [1] SEE ALSO: Royal Bank Of Canada Report On Gold [2]
Supercomputer Weather: No Respite For Fire-hit US

Kedgley’s Complaint On the Go As Smoker Sues

companies. See... Greens Await Outcome Of Complaint Against Tobacco [1] SEE ALSO: - Libz - Another Cigarette Smoker In Denial [2]
Scoop Link: Helen’s Unkind Pretender
- Helen Clark’s official election campaign site has an imitator. And in this case it could probably not be said that
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. See... Scoop Link: Follow Which Leader? [1]
Natalia Zawidowski: Fence Building & Fence Mending
- The fact that Israel has now started building a fence has enraged a lot of people. Many are claiming, not for the
first time, that Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is similar to the treatment of blacks in apartheid South Africa.
See... Natalia Zawidowski: Zionism & Racism [1]
Firas Al-Atraqchi: Someone Has It In For Jenin
- Another day in the Middle East means another person has been killed. This time, Israeli tanks laying siege to the
city savagely gunned down ordinary Palestinian shoppers buying food in the markets of Jenin. Someone has it in for
Jenin, it seems. See... Firas Al-Atraqchi: The "Errors" That Kill [1] MORE MIDDLE EAST NEWS: - Gush Shalom - Urgent Appeal From Nablus [2] - Without Peace, Death Reigns [3]
Stateside With Pics: Exit To Dublin
- Last Sunday, 16 June, was something of a novelty date in Dublin. As happens every year on the day the events in James
Joyce's 'Ulysses' took place, Bloomsday celebrations were in full swing. See... Stateside In Dublin: The Pub That Roared [1]
McCully Under Fire Over Maori Grants Attack
- Over $17 million in grants to 2019 Maori organisations have been attacked by National MP Murray McCully as "a
politically-driven , racially-based slush fund." See...

Scoop Link: 20/20 911 Israeli Spies Investigation
- The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said.

me. I thought it was very strange," she said. See... Scoop Link: 20/20 911 Israeli Spies Investigation [1]
Bush-Nazi Connections: Beware The Cornered Rat
- In the period of national mourning following the September 11 attacks, public suggestion of U.S. government
negligence or complicity in the attacks would have been an apostasy to most Americans. See... Bush-Nazi Connections: Beware The Cornered Rat [1]
Feedback: Overlooked Tax Issue
- Here is an issue of importance to anyone with a few savings that seems to have been almost totally overlooked by the
media. It does not apply only to big investors but particularly to small investors: retirees, baby-boomers saving for
retirement, young people saving for a home etc. See... Feedback: RFRM Tax An Election Issue [1]
Katya Rivas
- (The lecturer said that when Jesus was an adolescent He began to comprehend and accept what He saw from His Father.)

governments - know best how to lead their lives and spend their own money. See... A Vision For New Zealand [1]
Prebble’s Letter: Labour’s Risky Strategy
- Helen Clark's snap election has caught her own party napping. In most electorates, Labour has not put up any

See... Richard Prebble's Letter from Wellington 24/6/2002 [1]
Chief Censor Not Censorious Enough
- “The availability of films, videos and DVDs featuring ‘sexual violence’ combined with ‘graphic violence’, to those 18
years of age and older, has dramatically increased since Mr Bill Hastings was appointed to the roles of Acting Chief
Censor in December 1998 and Chief Censor in October 1999.” See... Sexually Violent ‘Entertainment’ [1]

Alcohol Drug Association to offer a Drug Helpline, similar to the existing Alcohol Helpline. See... New Drug Helpline Planned [1] MORE: - Tariana Turia - Launch of Treatment Works Week [2] - ALAC - Support For Treatment Works Week [3]
Peters Speech: Can We Fix It? Yes We Can!
- There is an election coming. A winter election. A winter election following one of the shortest Governments of your
lives. There is no constitutional reason for this election being held now. See... Security, Super, And Success [1]

Greens for Dunedin this week further highlights the level of contrivance in the apparent “conflict” between the two
parties. See... ACT Reiterates Support For Progress On GM [1]
