There is a piece on Helen Clark in today's Sunday Star Times.
Two quotes from it:"It's important to me to be in leadership roles, absolutely... I've been in them so long that I just wouldn't fit in further down the food chain. That's the reality. And I wouldn't do anything at lower levels."

The big idea of the twitchhiker was to travel from Newcastle (UK) to Campbell Island (NZ) with the help only of those on Twitter. He got to Stewart Island in the preset 30 day timeframe, apparently our internet/mobile phone coverage or lack thereof was a stumbling block. Twitchhiker story

Any opinion on Hi5?

The Obesity Action Coalition has released their report "Food Security for Pacific Peoples in NZ". So far the main talking point the mainstream media have taken from the 60 page report is that Polynesians can't afford healthy food so have no choice other than unhealthy/obesity causing foods.
