Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm in a really half-assed, lovely milquetoast version of late-30's Germany. Everyone is so in love with this one goddamn guy and his party of fruit loop mates trying to run the country just by winging it, and when it all falls apart in a big way (what would the suitably terrible and anti-climatic NZ version of starting the biggest war of all time be?) everyone will shrug and wonder tearfully where it all went wrong and how an entire nation could be so blind and stupid whilst learning absolutely nothing.

Maybe something like sending our army to a foreign country to get blown up. Half of them wouldn't have guns and everybody but us know where they are.

"We are doing business. Thirty NZ businesses have invested in Saudi. It's s a very important and growing market," the Primary Industries Minister said.
So glad we're investing in a country that is not many times richer than us already but also against everything our nation claims to stand for.

Email from UC posted:

Good morning,

I am delighted to announce that His Royal Highness Prince Harry of Wales will be visiting the University on Tuesday 12 May from 3pm until 4pm.

His Royal Highness will be on campus to meet the Student Volunteer Army (SVA) and learn more about their extraordinary efforts in the community, today and following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.

The visit will take place in the Matariki Quad in front of Matariki and Puaka-James Hight Library and will go ahead regardless of the weather. Staff and students will be able to see the Prince as he moves around the quad after exiting from the Lower Concourse of Matariki.

The best spots to view the Prince will be from the Puaka-James Hight Library stairs and the north side of the quad.

The quad will be closed prior to and during the visit on Tuesday 12 May, and there will also be restricted access to the external staircase of the Puaka-James Hight Library. The library will still be accessible through the Undercroft.

The first floor of Matariki will be closed all day, including the Student Services Centre. If students need any assistance during this time they can call 0800 827 748 or visit the Help Zone on Level 2 of the library.

This is a wonderful occasion for the University. I encourage you all to come along and enjoy this rare opportunity to welcome our guest to the campus, and celebrate and acknowledge the UC student community.

Dr Rod Carr
Vice-Chancellor

Get an accounting job outside Auckland, be ridiculously patient and be prepared to deal with massive incompetence that occasionally borders on corruption and you should be fine (I worked for INZ for 7 years lol).

I work for one of the big four (no I'm not an accountant myself).
If you're actually serious, stick your CV somewhere that I can grab it and I'll throw it in the direction of the appropriate people.

Experienced hire market is turning over pretty nicely in the commercial world. Entry level stuff is a little harder to come by. It will help immensely if your qualification is recognised by CAANZ.

But some of the serious ones are truly terrible. Like these two, where the people were like "lets put four flags on our flag!"
