Timor-Leste:
UN Reports On Violence - Peters Calls For Action
Foreign Minister Winston Peters is
urging key players in Timor-Leste to respond cautiously and
positively to the United Nations Special Commission of
Inquiry's report into violence that shook the country
earlier this year. The report recommends that a number of
senior government figures be investigated or prosecuted over
the unrest that led to the deaths of 37 people in April and
May. See... Peters
calls for positive response to Timor report [1]

Housing:
Nats Blame Labour For Bolshey Tenants
National Party
Housing spokesman Phil Heatley says Chris Carter is now
reaping what Labour has sown over the past seven years.
"It's not surprising that the occupants of a state house in
Auckland are refusing to leave, given that for years Labour
has been promoting unrealistic expectations among those who
rely on the state for some assistance." See... Labour
fuels unrealistic housing expectations [1]

Road
Safety: Police Ditch McDonald's Sponsorship, Clown
Sad
The Police have cancelled a multimillion-dollar
road safety sponsorship programme with McDonald’s in
adherence to a misguided ideology about commercial
involvement, says National’s Law & Order spokesman, Simon
Power. He is releasing a memo from McDonald’s to staff
that says the Police are ending their 20-year partnership,
including the well known ‘Make it Click’ campaign.
