How about
'Gucci'
The desire for oneupmanship and obvious signs of prosperity led to this greed for more and more money.
It is as old as history. The only difference now is that women can afford their own Gucci's. They're not just an adorned accessory as a display of the man's wealth.
Better still, how about
'Greed'
It keeps coming back to 'G'.

I took a look at Family First. No doubt they are the first to talk about 'nanny state' but Conservatives are the actual control freaks - and I doubt that nanny would have much say in their rule making.

'If it had been John Key going arse-up' the tape would have disappeared like the 'we would love to see wages drop' tape disappeared.

Is that a pubic partnership? -
Actually, Sofie, I had a mouthful of tea when I started reading this thread and had to rush outside.
Go to the top of the class ya all.
Laugh Out Loud funny.
Key could keep his nose on standby if he changes his mind.

' Dover Samuels notes that people in his electorate believe "if National gets in the price of petrol is going to drop down, the price of food is going to fall." '
This suggests that voters believe National controls business and that the prices currently on items like cheese will miraculously fall if they are in charge; that the present prices are deliberately jacked up higher than they should be to make the Government look bad.

I intended to go tonight, but can't.
Is there a stream of consciousness, from tonight, issuing forth tomorrow on your blog site?

The herald should hang its head in shame and do some real good for the pigs in this country - get Anderton or anyone with power to phase out crates.
When even America's Smithfield's farms and UK Marks and Spencers to name 2 are phasing out their pig crates, it doesn't make us look good.
Look in the eyes of the pigs on this website.
How low can the Herald go?

I don't understand. They are looking at making technicians and conservation staff redundant but on F5 of the 17 May Herald they've busy advertising for new staff for:
Leisure and Learning
Corporate Services
Customer Services
Display Technicians
Museum writer and publicist
Marketing Co-ordinator.Does that equal technicians, conservation staff and registration staff? Do they get to apply for their own jobs but are called something different?

Museum in Auckland
Locals (in Auckland's case it would be anyone who pays an Auckland levy) should receive a get in free card. With special exhibitions of course everyone should expect to pay. Invercargill expects outside visitors to pay and locals not.
I think all other adults should pay a compulsory $5 if single, $10 for a family group, but access to the War Memorial area and research library level should be free for all. Students and one accompanying adult should be free.
The employees should be retained and a grant from Government to save what is essentially a tourist mecca.
Interactive projects inside and outside the museum to be investigated. The earthquake house is great. People love to be involved, especially tourists.
Whenever I have been away it is the unexpected event that I always remember, like finding a zoo in an ordinary town park (Like Albert Park). Or being surrounding by thousands of cyclists in competition under the Eiffel Tower. I still have the stickers! Not to mention Australia, lolloping past a bush area on a camel, spotting a man facing us having a pee. His family waiting in a car on the road were in hysterics at his embarrassment.
Perhaps we could engage with the performing arts (if not happening already) to conduct their readings or dancing or singing on site, where people can listen. But always it should be in conjunction with New Zealand's history. e.g. a play on the Maori wars could be workshopped in the Pacific history area. A dance performance of the journey to Aotearoa/New Zealand in the room housing the 'boats'.
The teddy bear's picnic, opera in the park, et cetera, should have some comparative activity happening in the Museum for people to pick up on. Anything of course should be in a dignified manner in keeping with a War Memorial Museum. An antique teddy display in the Centennial street, and an Alice in Wonderland tea party with child actors from local schools. Night at the Museum alongside the movie was a brilliant idea. But, did it encourage people in?
I hope they don't have money troubles because of the changes they made to the exhibits. I liked the Egyptian mummy right where it used to be. Was the public asked what they thought before changes were made.
Many people don't go because they are confronted by a burly guard with a hand out for the 'donation'.
