Living the invasion with Tze Ming Mok

David Slack on his own account

Cast your mind back a few seasons in the Sopranos. Did you see the episode where the New York boss remarks to Tony, "A Don never wears shorts." You may not be surprised to learn that this gem was slipped into the script on the advice of People Who Know...

The Breeder Bounty | Aug 19, 2005 08:57
Russell Brown's Hard News

I'm not sure how much longer Labour's opponents can continue to call it "anti family" with a straight face. I mean, they let those gay folks get married and everything, but the breeder bounty has flowed like a river since then...

Che Tibby's view from Wellington

Keith Ng on the election trail

With the National Party finally prepared to unleash the torrent of fiscal wonk that they've been baiting us with for so long, we're about to enter the geekiest two weeks of the election campaign. This week, I talk to Michael Cullen about what really happened with the "Chewing Gum Budget",...
