National Party staffing change
National Party Leader Don
Brash says today he has received, with regret, the
resignation of his Chief of Staff, Richard Long.
“Richard
has advised me that he does not wish to commit to another
term in opposition and we have accordingly agreed that it is
time to put in place a transition.”
Dr Brash says Mr Long
brought dual skills of staff management and media knowledge
to the role. He has agreed to see through the transition to
a new appointment.
”I want to place on record my
appreciation of the tremendous contribution Richard has made
to the resurgence of the National Party as a major political
force in this country – we have more than doubled our party
vote and nearly doubled our parliamentary representation,”
says Dr Brash.
“Richard Long has been a member of a very
small team who have brought National to the brink of
electoral success. I understand his desire not to commit to
another term in opposition and wish him well for the
future.”

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...
