An unexpectedly long post about supplements and stuff | Jun 07, 2007 08:43
Russell Brown's Hard News

I called The Listener with a message for Mr Matt Nippert yesterday. The gist of the message - nay, its entirety - was "Hahahahaha - you're on The Panel with Christine Rankin today". In the event, Matt kept his composure admirably, even when she enthused about how there must be...

Never mind the sock puppets and barnyard animals, this is the kind of thing you want to see on your morning-tea television. Take a look at this performance by Australia's Industrial Relations Minister, Joe Hockey.

The camera never lies. Google Street View has been catching people unawares, sunbathing, sidling out of nudie bars, loafing on the job. But the quiet toilers who seek no glory for their selfless efforts are coming into their own as the camera snaps away. Here are some shots...

Stories: Overseas Experience
Public Address System discussion

Be it a bacchanalian romp through the continent or a serious career development move, the big OE has been a rite of passage for young New Zealanders for a century or more. Feel free to file a report if you're on one now, or share the story of the journey that is but a distant memory. Was it the making of you? Did you forget to come home? Is it all different now?

David Haywood from Christchurch

When you're in a supermarket, and you hear an irate mother chastise her children with the words "Padmé, stop hitting Anakin!", you know that it proves something. Maybe it proves the non-existence of God. After all, if God existed he would surely strike dead a woman who names her offspring...

John Key Hi God, please bless the school mums in their four-wheel drives and the ambitious dads on struggle street and the kids in McGehan Close and all the rest of South Auckland as well, and of course Bill English and the reporters who have been top value on this...

We . . .the People? | May 31, 2007 12:27
Graham Reid's many things

Some time around the end of the 60s I remember reading an interview with Abbie Hoffman, the activist-cum-clown of the Yippie Movement. In it he said he didn't mind John Wayne -- a man whom we might have considered Hoffman's polar opposite -- because at least he knew where he...
