| 865451 | 2010-03-10 01:09:00 | "A$150,000 a year ($187.5 million" Right, rewrite that a little, A$150,000 a year = NZ$187,500,000 Dividing both sides by 1,000 A$150=NZ$187,500 then, A$1.50=NZ$1,8750 So To get $1 Australian, hand over NZ$12,500 (Plus bank charges) That must be right; it was in the Herald AND on the internet. Fair dinkum. When throttled up, those fans in the attic must suck exponentially |

| 865452 | 2010-03-10 01:53:00 | Right now I see what you were going on about, its a typo by NZ herald. I was going by real figures not some stupid News site. Maybe who ever wrote the article, if they had written 0's instead of letters the mistake would have been spotted. With the kind of day I've had today, 1 million or One hundred - wouldn't make a scrap of difference. Here's some old ( same old news) petrol's just gone up 5 Cents from this morning - some one must have coughed again. |

I have seen so many mistakes made by reporters recently. |
