		<description>And Clare, while we&#039;re at it, some buttons to auto-insert hyperlinks and formatting would be handy as well.

Regarding abuse of the edit button, a time limit helps.</description>

		<description>chris73,, no national govt int he last 20 years has worked to wage minimum wages in this country, their plans have been littered with wage freezes, belt tightening pleas etc. Some of us still remember aunty ruth asking us to tighten our belts and enjoy the fruits later... business owners did, but not wage earners.

National is doing nothing different to suggest wages will increase during their tenure</description>

		<description>Maybe that was a mistake, but at least they were supporting the arts :-D 

Sorry, Clare, just want to add that edit button is great, at the standard they have a minor problem with some people altering their comments after someone has responded.</description>
