Political Friday: protesting too loud?

Despite howls of protest (shhh... if you listen really hard you can just hear them) from politicians, the Higher Salaries Commission has forced a 5% pay increase upon them.

Universally, our MPs have been standing on podiums, decrying this increase and claiming it to be unfair and unnecessary.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, it is forced upon us" is the follow-up sentence.

Oh, how tragic that these people are forced to endure the hardship of backdated pay increases that are measured in many thousands of dollars per year. I should be so unfortunate!

Meanwhile, those on the minimum wage were roundly insulted by a paltry 50c/hour increase in their earnings -- just a 3% rise.

Forums are up!

Yes, people have been complaining about the lack of forums for months now so I finally got off my chuff and finished the transition to the new server and the commissioning of the new forums.

So, if you want to "have your say" then register at the new forums using the magic word Aardvarkrox when asked for it.

Take a moment to introduce yourself to the rest of the Aardvark community and pretty shortly I'll be expanding the number of forums to encompass a number of areas that are regularly discussed on this site.

The contact form is not yet working (got to rejig the CGI scripts) but if anyone wants to email me they can send their communications to editor at this domain or PM me via the forums.

Oh yes, if anyone wants a bit of a plug then the sponsorship space is now up for grabs. Until someone is prepared to offer a donation for the use of this space, I'm happy to offer a free plug to anyone who wants to send me a suitable 150x150 graphic and link.

Stay tuned!

Sorry, the headlines haven't been updated today
