 Feature: Waging trade in Southeast Asia by Nick Smith | New Zealand Listener
New Zealand trade officials admitted in a meeting organised by the Asia-New Zealand Foundation in Auckland recently that Burma’s leadership would be an embarrassment to ASEAN founding members Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, later joined by Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Indonesia’s President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in New Zealand for talks, says it is important that Australasia become members of the new East Asia Summit, created by ASEAN and due to meet for the first time this year in Malaysia.
New Zealand is seen as a relatively benign regional presence, more concerned with stability than any other issue, and is not seen by Indonesia as the mastermind behind the Timor operation.

 Culture: Old news by Nick Smith | New Zealand Listener
The new number of the beast – 616 – is but one revelation of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, rescued by scholars from the garbage dump of history.
Written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the number is arrived at by giving numer-ical value to Greek letters, a favourite pastime of the educated ancients.
What is new are the 250 fragments of text not seen for centuries that have only now been brought back to life.

 Letter to NZ Herald in reply to Dr Nick Smith's comments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
As Dr. Smith points out, the most a council need do is to 'have particular regard' to any Trust recommendation - hardly a strong or binding requirement, much less a "draconian" measure.
Smith has been poorly advised that councils do not grant resource or building consents on wahi tapu.
The key to successful outcomes concerning land use and development, and wahi tapu, for both landowners and Maori, is a constructive relationship between the parties, and enlightened local authorities which recognise historic and cultural heritage.

 Crosswalk.com - Prostitution Reform Bill Passes in New Zealand
Lawmakers were given a conscience vote on the Prostitution Reform Bill, which makes it legal for those over 18 to solicit sex, while removing the offenses of pimping, brothel-keeping and living off the earnings of a prostitute.
Supporters said the changes would offer prostitutes much-needed protection from exploitation, while opponents argued the changes would lead to more drug abuse, child prostitution, trafficking of women, and a general expansion of a trade that is by its very nature exploitative.
In fact, one of the bill's most vociferous opponents was one of Barnett's colleagues, Labor lawmaker Diane Yates, who arranged for an Australian academic opposed to decriminalizing prostitution to visit parliament to outline her concerns.
