This week pigs are in the headlines again after former Pork man Mike King went for a stroll through a dirty filthy pig farm.

Te Radar muses from the Gisborne departure lounge about the political situation in Fiji. In particular Bainimarama’s white dress military uniform that must be awfully difficult to keep clean at state dinners. Also a chap who planned to row around Antarctica has given up before he reached Stewart Island. Plus we discuss the merits of Lego.

John Key’s car goes to a good cause but he’ll be hoping they behave themselves with it. Will a surcharge on plastic bags rid us of them? How brilliant was the 24 hour sculpture in Wellington over the weekend and TVNZ ban Facebook and Gumtree.
