Collins shows how
A few short weeks ago Media Training NZ, which supplies politicians with ways to get one up on the media, was happy to blow its own trumpet on its website about how it put Judith Collins through her paces. "Judith Collins has shown this week exactly how to react when thrust into the media spotlight," the back-slapping piece reads. "Her approach with the media on the issue has been faultless. We always tell our media training clients to front up on these issues, otherwise you leave all the limelight to those attacking you ... Mrs Collins almost made a negative story into a positive one."

Prisoners locked up again
The locks are working again at the Arkansas county jail in De Witt. Jail administrator Robbie Fread says the previous electronic locks were old and could easily be blocked or torn from the cells. No major problems had been reported but the sheriff says one inmate wrote a letter saying he didn't feel safe from the other inmates because of the broken locks.
