Have Your Say New Zealand: January 2011
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. Weapons Of Mass Destruction. This week, the government announced plans to sell off some of its (our) assets to avoid incurring further debt. We weren't surprised. It's National. We were. Surprised, however, when PM John Key showed up to Campbell Live on Tuesday night to discuss it. Where were the cat stories we've come to know and love? The rust in the baked beans tins? When tax cuts and a GST increase were announced, we knew it was a reshuffling of finances by National to thank...

Have Your Say New Zealand: The Medium is the MassAge
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2011/01/medium-is-massage.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. The Medium is the MassAge. If mass media is not going to fill its other functions as fourth estate, why is it allowed to provoke a debate for which it will never provide a fair forum? When will someone stand up and say publishing this kind of view is completely irresponsible, and an abuse of access? Posted by Dorothy Huxtable. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Have Your Say New Zealand: December 2010
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 29, 2010. This week's New Zealand Listener. Features a none-too-original article on happiness and how to have it; another dumbed-down take on what philosopher Alain de Botton wrote brilliantly about in his 2004 book Status Anxiety. Posted by Dorothy Huxtable. Sunday, December 26, 2010. The Etiquette of Rights. I wonder when the right to speak ones mind, on any issue however trivial, became more important than being kind? One morning, I had enough. I crossed the road and exercised ...

Have Your Say New Zealand: September 2010
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Auckland Supercity. “A jolly good laugh! Is anyone other than the dire calibre of wannabe Auckland mayoral candidates taking this Supercity race seriously? We have a self confessed drug using actor, a westie comedian constantly commentating now he has pulled out due to health problems and the NZ Herald releasing ‘the Idiots Guide to the Supercity’. Is this document targeting the candidates? He copped a lot of hassles for this saying that he made New Zealand look stupid?

Have Your Say New Zealand: November 2010
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. Brown beats Banks for Supercity Heavyweight title. Auckland had their say and it appears Len Brown is the man for the job! Len Brown the Manukau Mayor is now the Auckland Mayor Elect after a significant lead ahead of John Banks. Both had strong support however I cannot help but think the creative geniuses in charge of the Banks campaign may have gone into this battle half cocked and delivered many half-baked strap lines which inspired less awe than a KFC drumstick. He did say h...

Have Your Say New Zealand: The Etiquette of Rights
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2010/12/etiquette-of-rights.html
Sunday, December 26, 2010. The Etiquette of Rights. Every Wednesday morning, three middle-aged to elderly men gather on a street corner in Auckland and exercise their right to freedom of speech. The street corner is Manukau Road and Greenlane East, just along from Greenlane Clinical Centre, and the three men stand there from about 8am to 11am, holding signs which read 'Abortion Kills Children' or depict full-term babies in utero, with bible verses underneath. I believe what I had to say was important; cl...

Have Your Say New Zealand: Can I Help You?
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2010/12/can-i-help-you.html
Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Can I Help You? Laugh all you might - but it really ain't easy being a shop girl. We've all had nightmare moments . The assistant who doesn't acknowledge you. The one who tells you their life story in the first five minutes. The one who takes too long, or the one who rushes through. The one who looks blank when you ask a question, or the one who answers you with a tiresome spiel of details that you don't need. What's your shopping pet hate? Have Your Say New Zealand!

Have Your Say New Zealand: Bully for Restraint
http://nzhaveyoursay.blogspot.com/2011/01/bully-for-restraint.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. I struggled to decide. Would it be considered an exercise in futility? Is the address too intimidating? Do we all have that much faith in the legal system? Or, as one of my companions suggested, is it because the Ma and Pa type of investor who lost their money is more likely to retreat, embarrassed by their loss, and be more likely to take their own life than that of this unapologetic coward, who continues to walk around, living a life of excess and privilege? Do we even care?
