had an outsized effect on our great and beautiful nation
over the previous seven days. As always, there'll be three nominees,
but only one winner. And remember, as I say every week,
like the Time Magazine Person of the Year, the New
Zealand of the Week isn't always an agent of good.

Afternoons New Zealand of the Week are nominee. One also
gets the time to poople get off the poty award.
She's in the news again this week. Do we knock
her down? Do we work out a one hundred year
lease so someone can knock her into shape, or do
we bankrupt ourselves keeping her from becoming stinky, rotten and gross.

the winner also gets the explosively Heartwarming Award. There is
a new crematorium coming to Havelock North. Some want at
some don't. But what a caller to Matton Tyler Ufnu's
wife wanted was a glass coffin. That wasn't possible, So
this great New Zealander lovingly put several coats of lacquer

(02:04):
on her casket. It was a thing of beauty. It
was a fitting tribute to a lovely lady. It also
exploded when it went into the oven for overlaquering your
wife's coffin and blowing the bricks out the back of
the crematorium. Call it Tony, you ah the met antyla
