There is the New Zealand fuchsia or Kotukutuku (f. excorticata) which is one of the very few deciduous native plants in New Zealand.

What's with the fascination with that show? I saw one episode on the plane back to NZ and I wanted to jump out.
Big Bang Theory? It is Sheldon, Sheldon, Sheldon!

I too watch Grand Designs with some reluctance (I don't have control of the remote in our h/h). Kevin does know his stuff but, just in a while, I would like him to raise a question or two about the wisdom of (usually) two people living in the huge mansions they build, with the accompanying considerations of energy use and self-indulgence.

Ah, the Listener scooped again.
*applauds*With more clapping from the back seats! Perhaps they could do a feature on the correlation between body size and house prices.

Chasing you around the threads here, Russell but I was just wondering what Media 7 is doing this week (I know you are at SPADA next week--will see you there)
-
I can never see the point of vegetarian pies. It's a bit like decaffeinated coffee.
Or sugar-free barley sugar?
What's on Media 7 this week, Russell?

Nor are we ignoring you like we are Hamilton and Dunedin and all those other towns.
On behalf of the ignored, "city" please!
So, it looks like another trip up SH1!!

Would be facetious to suggest that churches pay GST on their income? They are providing a service, after all..
Or maybe I am just feeling a little bitter after paying out $102 in excise fees and GST, to get access to a copy of a UK-published book I contributed a chapter to.

Several universities have far-reaching policy statements to the effect that their employees are to be guided by Te Tiriti (or its principles), including in teaching and research.
Te Whare Wananga o Waikato (University of Waikato) does have a policy that gives students the right to write their assignments/exams in te reo Maori but I have encountered this only twice in the past 10-12 years.
We do have numerous Maori students (the highest proportion of any NZ uni) and there are always Maori support folk (usually grads) to help Maori students. In my faculty we also do the same for ESL students.
But I agree that incorporating such principles into research is very fuzzy--other than providing consent forms in te reo Maori.
