The Week that Was
spent by the papers reporting yet more parliamentarian mis-doings. Hot on the heels of the schoolyard fighting over who spent most of other peoples money on their various election campaigns, comes a new low in childish antics - Allegations about the private affairs (literally) of Mr Don Brash and Mr Helen Clark .Mmmm, is there not a country somewhere to run ?
Elsewhere, in the world of sport - the NZ Knights (shouldn't that really be Auckland Knights) lost 5-0 to the Queensland Roar in a return to last seasons form, or more correctly, a return to last seasons lack of form .
In the best of the Rugby - Wellington beat Canterbury 26-24 in front of 15,000 people and Auckland came from behind to draw 22-22 with Waikato.
Congratulations to the Black Ferns, who have made it to the Womens Rugby World Cup Final in Canada, where they will take on England, and commiserations to the New Zealand Wheelchair Rugby team that lost in the final of their world championship, 34-30 to the USA .
And to end this week, a special mention must go to Wanaka in their narrow attempt to fail to beat the worlds longest bra chain record currently held by Cyprus.Wanaka mustered a fine total of 8,485 bras . The world record ? A mere 114,782 . Better luck next time !
