Oh hey, I wonked around my granddad's farm in Helensville until I hit 14. Never got paid, though. Come to think of it, my family never paid me for anything. Digging ditches, fencing, amateur landscaping, all pro bono. I think all I learned from that was that hard work should be avoided whenever possible. Took a long time to shake that off.

It means without all those foreign students, a lot of our tertiary programmes wouldn't even be able to exist due to low numbers. Eat poo poo Winston. Oh hey, almost the same here. I was the token white guy in my business group. It's almost like Winston has a point to make, something about a lack of regulation, undermined wage rates, high unemployment... quote:New Zealand [...] is dominated by neo-liberal, profit-obsessed, shallow and money hungry politicians who do not care- ... clearly, it must be   Foreigners!!

Not sure how it's going to be a warning for Key, he's already demonstrated he can do whatever the hell he wants and the general public will still think he's a beer drinking, rugby playing sort.

Butt Wizard posted:Yea I went back and got NZICA papers instead and now I'm doing it all over again trying to find my second job out of uni. The economy might be doing OK but it seems like firms are much leaner than they used to be. Yeah, with the current deregulative atmosphere of the business sector and slashing of employee protections, employers tend to have all the means and manners to construct an enormously exploitative environment.

Even for the BAS, you're looking at 400+ accountants applying for a position. Add to that that if you're a recent-ish graduate, at least half of them will have about 4-5+ years of experience over you. It's times like this I'm thankful for the strict gun laws we have here. Suicides would be through the roof if they were relaxed.

He never needed to prove his innocence, they needed to prove his guilt and couldn't do so. They got an innocent man into jail because someone needed to take the fall for a high-profile case. And the public believed it, because he has a mental illness. Makes you wish you could butcher the panel and string their leathery carcasses outside the high court building.
