Your reference #: Would Like To Work
If you live in the Auckland area and are looking for a job – then new TV One show Would Like To Work wants to hear from you.
Have you struggled to find a job or get through the interview process? Have you been made redundant? Need to return to the work force after a long absence? Are you stuck in a rut with your current employer? Or think that your current skills are not relevant to a career or job change.
We want to hear from people from all walks of life, looking for any kind of work – whether you think you’re qualified or not or have the relevant experience.
We’ll teach you everything you need to know for your best chance to hear the words “You’re hired!”
Real jobs are at stake in a variety of industries and occupations, around the Auckland region.
Well, Philu, you certainly fit into the “all walks of life” category, but I’m not sure if you’re “looking for any kind of work” – an obvious prerequisite for going on the show.
Interesting article http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10585849&pnum=2 about people getting hit by car or buses.
When I was in Hawaii a few years ago, everyone walked on the footpaths and crosses at crossings. A Police car flashed his siren at us as we crossed the road in between crossing points. Do they still have a Jaywalking law there?
I suppose my point here is that in New Zealand people seem to think they have a right to walk or cross the road whenever they feel like it. When they get hit by a vehicle the driver seems to get the blame.
Now I have sympathy for the person hit in this instance but I have a lot more for the driver of the bus. The article refers to police charges pending on the drivers. Why? As far as I know they were driving along the road, the drivers didn’t run up onto the footpath or anything like that. A Pedestrian walked into the path of the vehicle

This is a typical labour party supporter, nothings his fault and we all owe him a living. You just keep talking phool, you’re the best advertising Key could have ever hoped for.
Many years ago, Auckland traffic cops blew whistles at jaywalkers in Queen Street. They also did parking enforcement then (every parking ticket went to court then, but only drivers could be ‘pinged’) and were well placed to deal with jay walking.
Someone was killed a few years ago by a bus on the Willis / Lambton corner. It was quite apparent from the media report that the deceased had kamikaze tendencies.
KiwiGreg “God you guys – I “jaywalk” all the time – there is nothing wrong with safley crossing the road anywhere you damn well please”
I didn’t have a problem with Jaywalking, I had a problem with Media, Police & Society blaming the driver when some idiot stepped out in front of their vehicle
Aren’t you allowed to cross a street anywhere if you are more than 25m from a crossing? Not that I worry. I always look before stepping onto the domain on tons of metal that can crush me.
Peterwn – I saw a woman hit on Lampton Quay by a bus some years ago. She literally walked directly in front of it. It was big, noisy and yellow, and she didn’t even see it.
Listening to Radio Pravda this morning I thought Brenda Pilott of the PSA had become a presenter as she was on every 30 seconds whinging. Nice to see the old Labour Party line being trumpeted at every opportunity once again by the national broadcaster.
If they’re looking for efficiencies in the public sector, I suggest a sharp stick up the ringpiece of all PSA members at Radio New Zealand House for a start. There’s partisan reporting, and then there’s out and out propaganda. Radio Pravda has gone for the latter.
Buggerlugs – I stopped listening to national radio years ago. Drove me mad listening to the non-stop Labour Love Fest. Sports radio and The coast are my set stations now. I agree – get rid of the whole lot of them, or beter yet, make their pay dependent on ratings.
This is shameless advertising, but I genuinely think that some of you more philosophical folk will be interested in reading about the true agenda behind social contract theory. This is relevant to us because social contract theory is behind a lot of what the government does today, and I found that doing the research for this post was very illuminating.
Thanks for the link. Did you see that two months after completing the investigation the police haven’t decided if they’ll charge the driver? This is despicable.
An independent investigator has found evidence that Governor Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.
The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.
An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorised the creation of the trust as the “official” legal defence fund.
I believe you are misinterpreting Rousseau, possibly because you are interpreting his words according to modern norms rather than those of 250 years ago. He was arguing for something that has become so deeply embedded in the modern concept of the state that we now take it for granted, so much so that when we read his words now we think they must be arguing for something else.
My own summary of what he says of “the social contract” is: “Everyone has the same rights, and those rights are determined by the collective of all (the state)”.
How exactly would we or should we have things differently? Who else but the collective of all/ state / whole community would be the arbiter of what rights people have?
Essentially, Rousseau argues for democracy: the worst possible form of government, except for all the alternatives.
For God’s sake, get a life jackass you are like that bleating fool Philin who was on the breakfast show crying crocodile tears about the nasty Mr Brash and that evil John Key. You lot are like lost lambs that walk up and down the fence line bleating.
Apparently someone went and woke the jury up, they are on their way back. Should be interesting to see if the result goes against him will they immediately lodge an appeal. Is this Abblet Kerr person doing legal aid or privately?
He was arguing for something that has become so deeply embedded in the modern concept of the state that we now take it for granted
That is my point precisely: my post was written for the purpose of showing the authoritarian agenda behind what is now considered to be a normal part of statehood.
My own summary of what he says of “the social contract” is: “Everyone has the same rights, and those rights are determined by the collective of all (the state)”.
Rousseau sums it up thus: Each of us puts his person and all his power in common under the supreme direction of the general will, and, in our corporate capacity, we receive each member as an indivisible part of the whole.
Sounds evil to me – note the “supreme direction”.
Who else but the collective of all/ state / whole community would be the arbiter of what rights people have?
As I said in my post “The trouble with democracy”, the “whole community” is a fiction because democracy is mob rule. I don’t want the mob that rules – or anyone else for that matter – deciding what rights I do and don’t have because at that point freedom is lost.
I believe that each person intrinsically possesses personal and property rights, and that initiating violence against those is illegitimate/criminal (the non-aggression axiom). Those two rights are all you need, and if I had it my way they’d be the basis of our legal system (it’s not a radical idea, more of a restoration).
(I won’t put up a link to the democracy post since that seems to tick off a few people, despite the fact that putting up links clearly provokes debate in the “general debate” post)
Kiwipolemicist,
Rousseau is hard to put in a box because he became extremely passionate about different ideas at different times in his live and was prone to go over the top with each and any of thse particular enthusiasms.
I challenge the claim that Rousseau had more influence on modern democracy than Locke. Just about everything Locke had to say is reflected in the US Constitution. Rousseau’s democracy (and his state) has nothing to do with representative democracy. He insisted that everyone should vote directly on every issue. So the social entity could be no greater than could meet in a room and attend the meeting place. The opposite of the Leviathan.
His ideal state was a state of nature by which he meant the family living within a small rural village. To my mind the best presentation of Rousseau’s State of Nature was in the TV series The Darling Buds of May – and anyone who watched the blossoming of Catherine Zeta Jones as an example of the state of nature would be hard pressed to deny it.
Rousseau is so exasperating. He charms us on one page and horifies us on the next.
I have read your page (and appreciate it) so you might like to read my third paper on the Age of Environmentalism – which is about “The American Story”. I deal with Rousseau’s contribution to current thought on the environment as best I can. At least he is a long way from the Dark Greens of 19th Century Germany that I write about in “Beware the Dark Greens”, the second in the series. If you want to look at the dark side – that’s the paper.
Total Eclipse of the sun today!
Well…not really in NZ, but if you want to see what you can see, have a look at about 2.35pm today.
The moon should be just below the Sun (although not really covering it).
I challenge the claim that Rousseau had more influence on modern democracy than Locke. Just about everything Locke had to say is reflected in the US Constitution.
IMHO the America of today bears little resemblance to the America envisioned by the writers of the constitution. The Mises article that my post contains a link to shows the influence of Rousseau on today’s version of democracy.
Need to earn some money ?
Do this, grab a ladder,bucket and a hose and scraper.
Then go door to door asking ladies of the houses if they want their gutters cleaned.
To be evil just ask if they are waiting for their husbands to do it, then watch the fire in their eyes.
If you cannot make $30 bucks an hour you are either idle, or incredibly bloody ugly.
Here’s the PDF of the report. It’s only nine pages long and worth reading in full because the gist of it is that legal defence funds simply aren’t permissible under the Alaska ethics act. It’s not that she’s doing anything underhanded or differently from the Clintons or John Kerry or any federal official; it’s just that Alaska doesn’t allow the governor to accept money that’s in any way connected with the performance of her duties as governor. In fact, on page 7, the investigator goes out of his way to say that Alaska’s system is FUBAR, especially with respect to not reimbursing the governor for defending herself against frivolous complaints, but since he can only apply the law as written, that’s what he has to do. His recommendation for “corrective action”: Having Palin seek reimbursement from Alaska.
Exit question: Who leaked this, ahem, “confidential” report?
Careful every one else, if you question the opinions of the above moron, his 2nd brain cell might kick into action, and we can all laugh at the ensuing tantrum he throws.

You have to be joking!
Climb a ladder? what if someone falls?
A bucket? this means filling the bucket, how heavy will it be? will it cause an injury?
A hose? this means water is involved, is the hose area fenced off?
A scraper? this tool will have a safety lock to keep it in the scabbard?

“in New Zealand people seem to think they have a right to walk or cross the road whenever they feel like it”
Yes, there are quite a few things people do without any care about being criminalised. Maybe we need another petition:
Should jaywalking as a part of good “please yourself what you do” attitude be a criminal offence in NZ?

it is not illegal or libelous, there is no law saying you have to like Negroids. Get a fucking clue you moron.

Need to earn some money ?
Do this, grab a ladder,bucket and a hose and scraper.
Then go door to door asking ladies of the houses if they want their gutters cleaned.
To be evil just ask if they are waiting for their husbands to do it, then watch the fire in their eyes.
If you cannot make $30 bucks an hour you are either idle, or incredibly bloody ugly.
You have to be joking!
Climb a ladder? what if someone falls?
A bucket? this means filling the bucket, how heavy will it be? will it cause an injury?
A hose? this means water is involved, is the hose area fenced off?
A scraper? this tool will have a safety lock to keep it in the scabbard?
