unless the New Zealand government changes its current position it could become the worst toxic hotspot in the country.

sites in New Zealand that are contaminated by dioxins. See… Toxic site map released today [3] . See also… Scoop Images: Greenpeace Eliminate Dioxin Protest [4]

Keith Rankin: Super Solution. What's the Problem?
- Michael Cullen's public superannuation scheme is a bit of a worry. Like the self-regulating free-market economy it's
