Donation Controversy
A day of major developments on the Winston Peters front.
Owen Glenn says one thing, while Winston says another. So the
question for viewers tonight was: should Winston Peters
be sacked as Foreign Minister? Mike Hosking talks to National Party
leader John Key and political commentator Therese Arseneau.
Close Up poll on the issue asked people to comment on whether they
think Winston Peters should be sacked as Foreign Minister. A total
of 22,433 people voted in the poll. Of those 69.9% said Peters
should be sacked, while 30.1% said he should not.
Safe As Houses?
It claims more lives than the road toll and costs us $380 million a
year, but not many would pick our homes as the most dangerous place

release some frightening stats revealing our homes as death traps.
For example like every 44 seconds one of us will be
seriously hurt in the safety of our own home. Donna-Marie Lever
with the story, and how you can stay safe.
Medicinal Magic of Dance
For those of us getting a bit longer in the tooth, they say that if
we don't move it we'll lose it. This is also true of those who
suffer from the debilitating motor disorder known
as Parkinsons Disease. Recently, a group of Auckland sufferers
discovered just how beneficial and fun modern dance can be when
they had a session with the world-renowned Mark Morris dance group
from New York. Matt Chisholm took a look at the proactive and brave
people who put their tremors and shaking aside to give modern dance
a go.
