Press Release: The Maori Party
Tired of Dirty Politics says Tariana Turia
15 September
2005
“People must be sick and tired of John Tamihere’s
political grand-standing” said Tariana Turia, Co-leader of
the Maori Party.
“For a politican to hire young people for
$180 to deface the billboards of Dr Pita Sharples, shows you
how desperate this person is; using the very youth that he
claims to help to break the law”.
“People will see this
for what it is”.
“This is political desperation at the
eleventh hour. It is dirty politics from the Labour Camp,
and the country has had enough of this type of
politicking”.

Refers to earlier Statement from
Dr Pita Sharples; 15 September 2005
““The Maori Party
have laid charges against Wyn Anania and John Tamihere for
paying people to deface the Maori Party bill-boards.
"Our
signs were damaged. The evidence we have is that the damage
was caused by people acting for John Tamihere. We have also
been given information that the Electorate Agent for Mr
Tamihere, Wyn Anania, was paying people $180 to deface the
signs".
We have given the information to the Police and
the Chief Electoral Officer. They will conduct their own
investigations into the matter of criminal
damage.”

Spotify has to be one of the most interestingly futile mouse-wheels of 21st century capitalism. Run, run, run goes the Spotify mouse but it never, ever makes a profit. For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
