LEAD:
Climate Change: Carbon Issues Dominate PM's Presser
This afternoon the Prime Minister
sustained a barrage of questions on sustainability and other
ecologically associated issues. The question and answer part
of the post cabinet tete-a-tete between the PM and the media
appeared to exist in an alternate universe – one where the
words Taito Philip Field, Thai Tiler and 'Auditor-General's
election spending report' did not exist. See...

Legislation:
Bill Banning Retail Fireworks Sales In The Ballot
A bill seeking to ban the retail sale
of fireworks to individuals has been placed in the ballot
for Members’ Bills by Wellington Central MP Marian Hobbs.
“Earlier this year, people from the electorate approached
me with concerns about the illegal lighting of fireworks
throughout summer. This illegal and irresponsible use of
fireworks has been a nuisance and caused distress to many
people.” Marian Hobbs said. See... Fireworks

Politics: Will Preb's 'Don's Gone' Call Leave Him With
An Eggy Face?
According to the former leader of the ACT party, Richard
Prebble, National Leader Dr Don Brash's problems are even
greater than the media have been reporting. Writing in his
latest political newsletter Prebble explains that before the
Independent story appeared Dr Brash had told senior MPs that
he wished to resign for personal reasons. He had told his
family of his decision, hence the need to return home to
explain he had been pursuaded to stay on. See... The

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS:
Papua New Guinea: Children Suffer
Under Police Corruption
Police violence against children remains rampant in Papua
New Guinea, despite recent juvenile justice reform efforts,
Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Children
and others in police custody are often raped and tortured.
“Police rapes and torture are crimes, not methods of crime
control,” said Zama Coursen-Neff, senior researcher for
Human Rights Watch’s Children’s Rights Division.
“These brutal tactics have destroyed public confidence in
the police.” See... PNG:
