Dear Professor Sir Paul Callaghan, I know nothing about you, other than the fact that you hail from a generation (or two) before mine. You are the product of [...]]]></description>

I think this is one of those times where the information is worth sharing.

From their latest press release: Christchurch registered homeopaths should be commended for offering many free consultations during the first month [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should note that this is my view, and I&#8217;m fairly sure Jackson will disagree with me on some (if not all) of this. I think there were different elements to this morning&#8217;s apology: It talked for a while about Henry&#8217;s &#8220;gypo&#8221; background His distinction between apologising for uproar and apologising for his comments.

If you feel the need to complain too, you can contact TVNZ here and the Broadcasting Standards Authority here. Paul Henry has something of a reputation as a Kiwi shock jock, and that&#8217;s fine if that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear John Key, I take umbrage at your comments about Chris Carter’s mental health as reported by stuff.co.nz today. Sometimes you can&#8217;t tell a person is sick just by looking at them. So it is unfair of you to say that Mr Carter looks well and that he should have to prove to New Zealand that [...]]]></description>
