23 Aug 2011Libya Good riddance to Gaddafi and let’s see how long it take to clean up the mess. I’d pick 5-10 years, but if you want to see what a real expert thinks about Libya, Otago Uni’s Robert Patman has been all over the news (TV3, RadioLIVE). TEI $$ The Minister and TEC released 2010 financial stats for universities,… Read Full Story.

8 Aug 2011VSM Protest John Key opened the refurbished Bill Robertson Library at Otago Uni on Friday (which sounds like a great development).

4 Aug 2011VSM in 2012 Yesterday I wrote to ED Insider clients that it was exceedingly unlikely that the VSM Bill would be debated that day. I’m happy to admit to that, because no-one else knew that Labour’s filibustering would end other than Act and (presumably) National. The story is below. Early in the day, Phil Goff was defending Labour’s… Read Full Story.
