• A former Mangere PM has been found guilty of 26 charges.
• It appears that the property market has found some stability, in Auckland that is. The remainder of the country will follow in the months to come. It is also said that a shortage of property listings appear to ensure an increase of the house prices.
• The New Zealand economic recovery appears to boost the New Zealand currency, good news for importers, bad news for exporters.
• One of the reasons given for this economical improvement is migration.

Long may it continue!
