..the neologisms continue today Stuff has this heading:
Marlborough Environment Plan ready for public scutiny
http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/80837519/marlborough-environment-plan-ready-for-public-scutinyI’m guessing ‘scutiny’ must be a mix of ‘scut work’ and ‘mutiny’

Stuff still can't get basic words right , on there site 'front page 'today:
New blood, new life video
Four months in hopsital, two weeks in isolation, 44 transfusions and a whole lot of thanks.
Cops probe baby death

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
They don’t even pretend to be an ATO in NZ. They simply ignore any requirements relating to that outright.They specifically claim not to be a transport organization at all.
They live on 'The Planet of the Apps'!

Speaker: Are we seeing the end of MSM,…, in reply to izogi,
It looks as if they’ve changed it.
I wonder if it was internally corrected, or if it was reader response, or Herald staff lurking on PAS???
Whichever - good result
- at last a win for the 'Lefties'!

Speaker: Are we seeing the end of MSM,…, in reply to izogi,
they’ve taken it from a Tourism NZ video that received a heap of criticism, for exactly that reason, last year.
Hah! That makes it doubly worse - how quickly they forget...

(Caption:) Whether it’s a milk tanker or a campervan, the tarmac beneath the tyres is crucial to spreading money into the regions.
For some reason The Herald today chooses to subliminally endorse the idea of driving on the wrong side of the road on NZ highways…

merely flipping the photo would’ve altered the perception…and The Press in their weekend obituary for French advertising magnate, Jean-Claude Decaux, called him an ‘inventer’ in the headline – sigh…

MSM catches up with Ben...
Uber drivers across the country are abandoning the service after feeling they've been left out-of-pocket.
Auckland driver Arden MacDonald left his fulltime job last year to take up driving for Uber, but reapplied for his old job after driving for Uber became unsustainable.
The company said it had received positive feedback from its drivers, but MacDonald said while he was a "huge" Uber supporter early on, recent changes had made drivers unhappy.
Uber dropped prices by 20 per cent in April, while maintaining a 20 per cent commission for every ride.
...
MacDonald said the drop in fare prices meant licensed drivers could no longer afford to rely on the service for their main income.
"A licensed driver has to pay for their P endorsement, for their commercial licence, for commercial insurance, income tax and GST. After costs, it works out that you are only making about $8 an hour."http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/80698018/unhappy-uber-drivers-abandon-company-after-price-changes
