		<title>Getting the homeless off the streets</title>
		<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>

		<title>Sport doesn&#8217;t need taxpayer help</title>
		<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>

		<title>Journalists: not all bad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Journalists may be low in public esteem, but I reckon if those surveys asked respondents to rank student reporters, we’d fare even worse. 
The general aura of suspicion that often greets journalists is frequently augmented by fear (of being wildly misquoted, I suppose) when our subject hears they’re talking to a student journalist.
Either that, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>NZ Herald: The World Yesterday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While New Zealand sleeps, most of the world is busy getting on with life.
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>

		<title>What&#8217;s really in our food safety authority?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was the woman who wet her pants at work after chomping through three packs of chewing gum a day. And then there was the man who went blind after regularly drinking seven bottles of fizzy a day.
But altogether the most disturbing aspect of What&#8217;s Really in Our Food (TV3, Tuesday night) was the attitude [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free trade should be fair trade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On her weekend visit, US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice indicated that the US is open to “warming” relations with New Zealand. This wee country has been left out of all the fun and games (the US won’t do military training exercises with Kiwis, despite the fact the two countries’ troops are active in Afghanistan, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[También en español: Culpemos a EEUU primero
Ayacucho is a region with a population of 612,000 people. That means it is home to barely 2 per cent of the Peruvian population, according to the last census.
The strong poverty reduction figures, fed by market-opening policies, haven’t reached Ayacucho yet to take it out of its economic tightness [...]]]></description>
