We're surrounded by leaky databases. We've had the ACC scandals and now it's the turn of the Immigration Department. "Hey, look at this guy applying for citizenship, he's well-heeled.";
The perils of parking in Wellington;
The dangers of sitting down, on a par with smoking they're claiming;
Keisha Castle-Hughes laments that she was born in a hick country; 
and we'll chat about looking for minerals in our wilderness. Research NZ poll results on what we think about that, with interesting results.
