Subj: Govt Website Not Updated

As much as I hate to defend the Government, in this case
the criticism of one of their websites being out of date is
misplaced.

If one looks at the home page of
www.executive.govt.nz it specifically says this
site is now an archive site and the up to date cabinet
website is at www.beehive.govt.nz.

As horrifying a thought as it is, but Jim Anderton will be
Deputy PM for life on the Executive site as it is just an
archive!

Aardvark Responds
Hmm.. what about all those folks who come to those pages via a search-engine and don't realise that they're simply an archive? How many school-kids will lose marks on their homework after thinking they've found some up-to-date info? Neither the URL nor any item on the pages linked to in today's column indicate that the data is purely historical in nature. Maybe someone could address that soon? :-)
