Watch out for me little Business Degree Girl who loves following legislation . . .  I can cause a lot of trouble.
Last year when filing my tax return for the year, I challanged my Summary of Earnings from Hometown Chicken, the takeaway shop I used to as they hadn't filed all my earnings for the tax year and being the girl who likes to get her tax back for every last cent I attached my pay sheet and said IT IS WRONG and sent it happily off to the IRD who said sweet as, we will adjust your tax and give you a nice healthy sum of money back.
What HC had done was only filed our earning for April 2006 - December 2006. Therefore not including earnings from January 07-March 07 in the tax year. 
Now I wonder whether they have done that on all tax related documents as I just got a call from mum saying that Hometown Chicken have to go to the High Court for possible liquidation for tax (fraud I think or similar) unless they front up with the correct documents and pay the money they own.
So that could be the end of Hometown Chicken and I may have started it. . .OOPS!
Though in my guilty state I asked mum whether they could make it through and she said yes. 

So in some respects it is good that they have been found out as it is ILLEGAL! however it could be plain ignorance, though when they have been in business for 20 years + you would think that they would know.  
moral of the story DO NOT CUT CORNERS BUSINESSES! your employees may be a lot smarter than you think.
It may be good for those ppl who worked there in similar roles as I did as they were probably under paid as well as they always were a little too slow to register the whole concept of MINIMUM WAGES for both Youth and Adults.

Ok so with the mascot dead, no more McKay-vers, Red Badge threatening to sue, and the Father in jail, everyone wants to know what's happening with Pulp Sport. Well, I'll tell you all what I know...which isn't much. Lets face facts, I'm just the intern, so I don't get told much!!!

It is unclear at this stage whether or not there will be another series of Pulp Sport. It will all depend on sponsors, and whether there is enough funding for another series. We dont get NZ on Air funding, so can only afford three of us full time, which makes it extremely hard work making the show. Don't fret just yet though...if there is no more Pulp Sport, Bill and Ben will likely be doing a different show on TV3 next year. I guarantee that if you liked Pulp Sport, you will like any show that the fellas make. They are very talented, funny guys, and New Zealand definately hasn't seen the last of them!!!!

Also, we are hoping to bring Pulp Sport out on DVD. If you think that is a good idea, email the guys at pulpsport@tv3.co.nz and let them know. The more people there are showing interest, the more likely it is that it will happen!

We would also like to thank everone for wathcing the show, and for your comments about it. It makes the hard work and late nights all worthwhile when we hear from people who watched and like the show. Thanks for your support! You're all lovely people.

Hey, my name's Andy Jay, a.k.a Big Red. I worked on Pulp Sport series 4 (the current series) as the Intern. In other words I was Bill & Ben's bitch. I made the coffees and held the boom. I was also forced to take part in the folowing skit...It is not one of my proudest moments.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! i am sooo sad! i love pulp sport and am hoping that they continue!

"Business as usual for students

From all around New Zealand, the teens have started a total immersion course to give them a head start in the business world.

Chairperson Colin Higgins said the students were organised into teams who ran their own virtual companies, with regular meetings scheduled in to the programme when they had to make key decisions leading up to a trade fair on Thursday.

This year the programme had been updated technologically by sponsorship from Telecom, Hewlett Packard and Gen-i that meant the students would be using laptops for most of their work.

The programme features visits to local businesses, sessions led by local business leaders, and an after-dinner speech from Central Districts Black Cap Jacob Oram. "
