Australian filmmaker Warwick Thornton directed and shot his debut feature film, Samson & Delilah, in a derelict Aboriginal community near Alice Springs.

Biotechnology at the University of the Western Cape, in Cape Town, South Africa,
where he heads the Forensic DNA Laboratory. His new book, Before We Say Goodbye
(Cape Catley, ISBN: 978-1-87340-18-5), is an autobiographical account of his

terminal cancer who had had enough of life. Sean is speaking at events in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin on 23, 24 and 25 June respectively.
9:45 Kate's Klassic

10:05 Playing Favourites with Mike Whittaker
On Monday 8 June, Mike Whittaker, a
director of research, design and development company EAFW Ltd, put a listing on
the auction site TradeMe under the heading, "Scary washing machine. No
really, it's terrifying!", with a reserve price of $1. Interest in the
auction exploded, with over 200,000 views, largely because of the interaction
in the Question and Answer section. On Thursday night bids closed at $5160 for the washing machine. Related art auctions, which were screened at a public event in downtown Auckland, raised $2255.58 for five children’s charities. There's now a Facebook page and website.

This fundraising event is supporting Fruit For Our Children, a charitable trust committed to planting four fruit trees for every New Zealand citizen.
