Fruit and Veg
It pays to shop around - an old adage but never a truer word was
spoken. Particularly in hard times, and we're facing those at the
moment are we not? Close Up recently took a look at the price of
milk around the country and the extraordinary price differences. It
caused a bit of reaction to say the least. Tonight Close Up looks
at fruit and vege, and ask the same question, are we paying a fair
price at the supermarket or are we being gouged? Sue Kedgley from
the Greens is with on Close Up to discuss.
Doggie Discrimination
A Wanganui woman is accusing Massey University of discrimination
because they won't let her take her disability assist dog onto its
Palmerston North campus. 35-year-old Melanie Donne has had panic
attacks and blackouts after a car crash 11 years ago and says she
need to have her dog Rica with her at all times. But Massey
University says letting Rica on campus could open the floodgates
for anyone to bring their dog to university.
Naked Grannies
She's got a lovely house, a loving husband and top Kiwi chef Peter
Gordon for a son. So what possessed Betty Ludwig to be
photographed sitting around in the woods with just her underwear
on? It was all to prove a point. To show that "older" women still
have lives, and like to be noticed. A series of pictures at
Auckland's Photography Festival set out to challenge our
sensibilities, showing society's matriarchs in various states of
undress.
