Steve Guttenberg shows us how a Kiwi accent is done
- Jack Yan
- Back in September, The Dominion Post claimed on its front page that I have an ‘accent’ that is holding me back. It was a statement which the editor-in-chief subsequently apologized for, and which she had removed from the online edition—you can judge for yourself here if the claim was a falsehood. Still, despite having lived […]

Open for the holidays?
- The Wellingtonista
- As a town of public servants, it seems like much of Wellington shuts down for a month from Christmas until Anniversary Day. People deserve holidays, sure, but if they have the misfortune of being back at work in the summer, they gotta be able to get coffee, right?

Flip-flop again: GM deems Chevrolet Europe strategy a failure
- Jack Yan
- GM has changed its mind again: Chevrolet will not be its global brand. The strategy, where Daewoo was rebadged Chevrolet in western Europe at the beginning of the century, has been deemed a failure, and GM will withdraw its core Korean-made models such as the Spark, Aveo, Cruze and Malibu, by 2015.
