against the Tampa scandal and detention camps.
At his media conference in Auckland tomorrow morning, Bob Brown will make a call to New Zealand politicians to 'keep it
clean' during the current election campaign here.
At his Thursday night public meeting, titled 'From campaigner to Canberra', Bob will speak on his experiences as a
