The plan for P
Use of the drug P has been described as the scourge of our society
and has been blamed for numerous high profile crimes. Most
memorable being the RSA murders, the Antonie Dixon Samurai sword
attack. The use of P is now widespread in communities throughout
the country. Former cop Mike Sabin is a man on mission. He says he
has the answers to ridding New Zealand of its P problem. He is
suggesting amongst other things drug testing in all schools. Cate
Kearney is the CEO of the New Zealand Alcohol Drug Association. She
says the idea of introducing random drug testing into schools
creates a fear factor among the parents of teenagers. Mark
sainsbury spoke to Mike Sabin and Cate Kearney.
Olympian returning home
The Olympics kick off in August with thousands of athletes
converging on Beijing to test themselves on the world stage. For
most it is the biggest event of their lives. For little known
former Olympian mountain biker Robyn Wong these games have huge
significance despite retiring from competition two years ago.
Working for the New Zealand Olympic Committee she is not only
responsible for getting our team to Beijing and creating an
environment for it to win, but she is also going home - back to the
country her ancestors left for a better life more than 100 years
ago.
Robin Wong will also be instrumental in getting some others to
Beijing as well. She is on the panel which decides which athletes
get to bring two family members or friends along with them.
Johnson & Johnson is stumping up the prize and you can take
part as well by nominating the team members you think deserve
having a little support in China with them. You could also win a
little something for yourself.

cats and dogs. Donna-Marie Lever met up with stressed pets and the
woman trying to calm them down.
