because things had started crashing before covid.

the convention centre was set on fire to collect the insurance pay-out. because the contract was obtained by under-bidding. the aim was to make the project seem affordable so enough funds would go into it and then hold it up or whatever to extort more money out the end of it. or... burn it down. get the insurance company to fund the rebuild.

so...

so...

the trade conference will be held virtually then. microsoft rooms. there we go. no convention centre needed.

the america's cup sailing event... a lot of accommodation was built -- for teh tourists. but the tourists aren't here. that's 1 bedroom and so on apartments. for the homess. that's right. with the borders locked down. that's what it is.

it's not super flashy accommodation. it's accommodation that would never have been built without the promise of the world cup. it's been built and now there aren't any tourists. house your people. house your people. house your people.

teh new zealand yacht... they contracted out the design to europe. they couldn't even offer scholarships for some studnets to do engineering PhD's or whatever... pay them a living wage... come here and do the work here... just have to send the money off to overseas because we can't do anything in this country. there's nothing here. there's nobody home.

things were crashing down.

Italy was saying 'your med studnets came to do their internships and they paid us x amount of dollars to have their photos taken in scrubs and then they posted photos of them sightseeing and climbing mountains etc etc etc and clearly they weren't spending 2 weeks or 6 weeks or 8 weeks in the hospital doing their internship when you see how they posted pictures of themselves all around on facebook and so on'

And Otago was like 'but we've been signing off on studnets who have been doing that since forever. That's how I got my Degree'.

ANd now...

Most recently...

Apparently (apparently) someone threatened to blow up graduation. Worse than the mosque attack. If graduation was to go ahead.

Something like 8 graduation ceremonies were cancelled.

Studnets celebrated anyway. Their parents came. They dressed up. They paraded themselves around.

But no degrees were conferred. No official Degrees were handed out.

I think that's the idea.

I think maybe Dunedin doesn't have the power to confer Degrees anymore.

I suppose that's why Waikato is failing their studnets too.

Why Auckland refuses to sign off.

They don't have the authority to award degrees.

Not on the international stage.

There's nothing here.
