It's not so much that ratepayers' money will be spent on the launch of Auckland's new Britomart transport terminal. Or even that the original launch budget has blown out five-fold to $100,000 - although half that would surely do. It's our mayor's ... More >>

Thursday, 5 June 2003, 2:29 pm | HARD NEWS from Russell Brown

Public Address passed 100,000 visits for the year on Monday. That's very pleasing, but not entirely surprising. There is a right way of doing things on the Internet and we have tried to do it... More >>
