And Clark was in Hamilton yesterday, to meet people from the sector and talk about what should be done with the money.
"One in five New Zealanders are wrestling with a mental health and addiction challenge. That's more than one of us at every table here," he said.

Empty container needed for photographic experiment.

Desmond from Dinsdale

I have some fireworks that I don't want to set off outdoors [scared animals etc.] and have thought of an idea to do some time exposure photos, and video, of them going off in an enclosed environment. A steel container is nice and strong and would contain most of the noise and flames and I'd love to do a 'controlled' photoshoot in one if anyone has one available in an environment that would not pose a fire hazard of any sort. :)
