Talk about betting on two flies climbing up a wall. The Australians are now gambling on the unemployment rate.I was turning that one over when I started reading about Monday's hikoi to protest the omission of guaranteed Maori seats from the Super City council. It's going to be a biggy. Maori are amazingly effective at mobilising the troops. But I am picking many Pakeha will be joining them. One estimate is that 6,000 will turn out. Umm. Perhaps we could be betting on that. I will listen to JT and Willie Jackson this afternoon promoting the hikoi, listen to the feedback and then take a stab at it.
Seems to me Auckland is in the mood for a huge bun fight.

On the unemployment rate: you know that iPredict is running contracts on the Kiwi unemployment rate, right? Except that it's a futures contract, not betting.
FFS, why don't they just field candidates like everyone else has to. Blair Mulholland has a good blog on this.
