Scoop In London: NZ Memorial Heralds ANZAC Spirit In
London
Defence Photo Essay - The unveiling of the
New Zealand Memorial in London's Hyde Park provided the
chance for Kiwi ex-pats to wander along and show their
respects to the veterans that had made the trip over and,
also to pay their respects to those that have fallen in
battle. While Scoop was busy getting the vibe from the
ex-pat Kiwi community the official New Zealand Defence Force
photographer Rachel Main had what many English Paparazzi can
only dream about – the chance to snap the entire Royal
family at the unveiling of the New Zealand Memorial. See…

Health
News: PHARMAC Under-Provides Needy By $19.4
Million
PHARMAC's announcement this week of a
$19.4 million budget under spend for 2006 has elicited cries
of disbelief and anger from MPs, doctors and breast cancer
groups alike. This continues a five year trend of budgetary
under spending by PHARMAC that National MP Jackie Blue
estimates now totals $73 million. The Breast Cancer Aotearoa
Coalition (BCAC) was outraged by the result which PHARMAC's
Acting Chief Executive Matthew Brougham described as
'excellent'. See... PHARMAC
Budget Under Spend a 'Crying Shame' [1]

News: EU Korea Russia Block Pacific High Seas
Talks
Fisheries talks in Hobart ended a step closer to managing fishing in the South Pacific high seas, but proposed interim fisheries and environmental measures were blocked by Northern Hemisphere fishing nations,” says Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton. “New Zealand is very pleased with the progress that’s been made towards establishing a regional fisheries management organisation for non-highly migratory fish stocks in the South Pacific,” Jim Anderton says.

Retirement:
New Seniors Card Absolutely Super, Says Govt
The
Supergold Card unveiled this weekend recognises the huge
contribution that senior citizens have made, and continue to
make, to New Zealand. The credit-card sized Card will be in
the purses and wallets of people aged 65 plus in August next
year. It will provide tangible benefits to cardholders by
providing easy access to government concessions as well as
meaningful discounts across a range of commercial services
