Four dead Takahe are the surprise winners of the prestigious Hauraki New Zealander of the Week Award.
Each week the Hauraki Breakfast team presents a deserving newsmaker with their coveted "New Zealander Of The Week" award.
When no living human New Zealander has scaled lofty enough heights in the week that's been, it's time for the Hauraki Breakfast team of Matt Heath, Jeremy Wells and Laura McGoldrick to present this week's award to four dead birds.
