Every kid, every week who is killed in New Zealand as the result of domestic violence. It's getting harder and harder each week to be proud to be a New Zealander. 

Our "she'll be right, not my business" attitude is killing our children. 

If you see it, step up or you are part of the problem.

Also Michael Cimino 77, who directed " The Deer hunter ", mega flop "Heavens Gate"(IMO a pretty good film) and a great little film called "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges.
