massive scoop from Nicky Hager: "Secret defence notes pointing to sensitive China preparation left at op shop" ... "Without any announcement, New Zealand is being integrated into a de facto Anglo military alliance that ties the country into a US/UK-led military build up."

If anyone knows of any jobs going for a 60-something archivist or a 60-something pilot, let me know.

So, I've just posted a package from here in Horowhenua to Wairarapa. When I asked NZ Post when it might arrive, I was told it would go to PN this afternoon, up to Auckland overnight, back down to PN tomorrow and over to the Wai on Wednesday...
