Every country, including ours, has said they think the photos are offensive. But that press freedoms allow for the publication of the photos.

I actually think this is the right tack.

Helen Clark says the New Zealand press is free and politicians do not dictate what it can and cannot print.

,,, Klark's major increase in staff for the Prime Minister's Department was sourced from ranks of union thugs who "visit" reporters and editors specifically to keep them in [Party] line. She called the editor of the New Zealand Herald in her first term to tell him which staff could be kept. For a short time, in her second term, there was only one seasoned radio journalist who she would speak to.

She seemed reluctant to discuss a possible backlash from Iran.

,,, for once it seems like there's a window of opportunity for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to comment on his own portfolio. Which bar would we find Winston in on Waitangi Weekend?

New Zealand should be happy that they got noticed at all. Most of the time nobody pays any attention to them.
