And the remaining six members announced are......?!

Clearly unimportant, as far as Stuff is concerned.

Geektastic:It's astonishing to me that anyone could write a piece about the announcement of eight board members of a new national body then simply fail to name six of them.

I'm surprised you got 2 names!

The "reporter" was obviously too tired to read more than the first page of Andrew Little's Press Release, which is here: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/expert-group-appointed-lead-new-zealand%E2%80%99s-future-health-system

Cutting-edge tech!  This new development is going to be a game changer.

I was reading an article a couple of days ago about students going into STEM classes while lacking knowledge of basic computer concepts. Many teenagers are so dependent on over-abstracted software like Instagram that they don't even know what a file is.

"The mind wobbles." - Kelly Bundy.

"After this year's failure of the original well, installed in 1970, that feeds steam to the Maurie Kjar Swimming Pool Complex, Kawerau District Council, which manages the pool, had four options at a full council meeting yesterday."

That sentence, from the Beacon, a local newspaper, is a great example of a hard-to-read sentence, caused by having too many statements, without actually breaking things up, and I'd better stop now before I go crazy.

After this year's failure of the convoluted sentence, began god knows how long ago, that feeds into a foggy idea long forgotten, that may have been the original inspiration for sitting down to create this document, though the author can't say for sure, the CP/M Wordstar software programme it was started on, which manages to confuse even those less prone to mental distraction, had four options at the High Council Chambre meeting, at which it was decided that the document in question no longer served any purpose, assuming always of course that it ever did, and could actually be withdrawn from consideration, except that the droid timed out long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away and no longer has any inkling of how the sentence got started.

A long way to go before anyone beats Bernard Levin's single sentence of 1667 words in The Times.  Totally brilliant!
