The Hive team is beginning to spread around New Zealand and the world. We will not be back together for three weeks. The Hive will continue to be updated daily. The focus may be more international than national (there will be a particular focus on the start of the Primaries in the US). Local stories may be more thoughtful as time has been too short or more thorough analysis of some important issues.
We wish our readers a very happy Christmas and a successful New Year. Those in the southern hemisphere, we hope you have wonderful, hot weather. In the north, we hope the winter is not too extreme.
Our full service will resume on around 15 January 2008.
