		<description><![CDATA[The Auckland City Council wants to clean homeless people out of the city centre. 
How could this be done… Perhaps they might provide a new homeless shelter in the city where rough sleepers can crash, get some soup, medical attention, assistance with getting back on their feet and integrated into society. 
Maybe that’s a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Team New Zealand flittered $130 million on its failure in Valencia last year, and more than a quarter of that came from the Government.
In John Key-ese, that’s equal to about 3,217,350 blocks of cheese the government could have given to hard-working families. Instead they preferred to blow the $33.75 million on a rich white man’s [...]]]></description>

Yet, it seems the New Zealand Herald’s foreign editor goes to bed at the same time as the rest of us.
How else could you explain the lack of acknowledgement in today’s world section that Russia had called a halt to the conflict [...]]]></description>

The select committee considering the immigration bill was due to report back on Monday, but recently they’ve pushed their deadline out until July 21.
It’s a huge topic to be looking at, so it’s not surprising they want a bit more time. [...]]]></description>

I interviewed Calero a few weeks ago and, on the whole, our perspectives on world affairs were so far apart that I sometimes wondered if we [...]]]></description>

The North Shore Times clearly thinks so. It has waged a campaign on behalf of Bahareh Moradi, dedicating several front pages to the 25 year old woman’s case. [...]]]></description>
