Adding Noughts in Vain. Mainly a geek's eye view of energy issues, climate change and New Zealand politics. Sunday, June 14, 2009. Winners and losers in Mt Albert. An utterly unoriginal theme for a blog post but here goes:. Here the winners are clearly Shearer and party leader Goff. Whines that this prominent Dominion Post story. Fails to mention that the economist who did costings and estimated job losses for the Auckland city reforms is a Labour party member. Yet Twyford who has been commissioning ...
