Business Forum – Missing Man – Dumped Baby – Soldier’s Book – Blind Appeal
- BUSINESS FORUM: The Government tried to revive its relationship with business today at an Auckland business forum. The
intent was to kick around ideas on how to revive the flagging economy. Critics claimed they’d been excluded and the
Government had a set agenda. 85 business leaders met with senior cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister. The media
were kept well away from the meetings. Many business leaders critical of Government policy were not invited to the
conference.
- MISSING MAN: A Hamilton man, 21-year-old Cameron Murray, was drinking with mates at a Hamilton bar when he went to the
toilet and never came back. He has not been seen since. Alarm bells rang when the rugby mad student wasn’t around for
the NPC final.
- DUMPED BABY: Auckland police have issued a warrant for the arrest of the father of a six-week-old baby who was found
on the street.
- SOLDIER’S BOOK: The full might of the British Government came to an Auckland Court, to stop a soldier publishing a
book. The soldier, whose identity is suppressed, worked in the British SAS during the Gulf War and now lives in New
Zealand and wants to publish his book, which exposes a British military bungle.
- BLIND APPEAL: The Blind foundation is calling for help, saying it can’t make ends meet. The foundation is about to
start its annual appeal. The foundation says it needs more Government funding.
