Just another week in Kiwiland

Just another week in Kiwiland.

The kidnapped girl has been found - thank heaven - another couple of murders, young males dead from car crashes, Winston in vintage form etc.

Winston said he had received no money nor had NZ First from the billionaire Owen Glenn (my old mate - ha,ha!!!??) but it turned out his lawyer had received $100,000 as a donation to his legal expenses for the Tauranga election appeal. For what it is worth, Winston is pedantically correct as the money seemed to go to his lawyer. Also under our system whereby the party leaders do not, or profess not to, get involved in or even know where political funds are obtained he in theory shouldn't know.

Dwayne Chambers the British sprinter has not been allowed to go to Beijing by a court because of his previous ban due to drug taking. Sanity at last.

The SeniorNet AGM is over for another year. Not too many attendees this time (about 50) but probably a better group as mainly tutors and those involved.
