in the news in nz

a government minister when he was a teacher 20 years ago stuffed a tennis ball i a students mouth
police investigating the case recently said that while he did the crime it's so long ago they couldn't be bothered doing anything about it

the new all black haka that was specifically writtedn for them includes a throat slitting gesture (even though there is nothing even remotely violent in the words of it)

in maori culture at formal gatherings women can only speak after all the men regardless of age or status have had their say (maori culture is really interesting and very very complicated, i think i'm going to buy a book)

another rich guys helicopter crashed 3 weeks ago in nz and it took two weeks to find it, the big discussion is that aftre a couple of days the authorities called off the search and it was his fanily that resourced the rest of the search.

oh and
tonnes and tonnes of nz sport
the all blacks
black caps
silver ferns
black sox
they all have silly names
