Yesterday was a vocational day so it was up early for the team as the first port of call was to meet New Zealands Minister for Immigration Dr Jonathon Coleman. Dr Coleman is also the Minister of Broadcasting,Associate Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Health.
Jonathon as he likes to be called turned out to be a young Minister with an outstanding reputation. He is a hard working pollie and if the rest of the Government are as diligent, articulate and devoted to his constituency as Jonathon is then New Zealand's future is in good hands.
We then headed off to our different vocations for the day. Kelly headed off to Northcote Primary with Deborah, Jennifer went off to the Human Resources area of North Shore Hospital to talk with Carol Frankston, Rogen went to the offices of Simpson & Grierson (one of New Zealands largest law firms) and then had a 3pm appointment with commercial lawyer Gerald Sharrock, Tania was taken by Terry to meet George Villars from Handley Industries who are flooring specialists, whilst I had the pleasure of talking real estate with Bill Hayward from Link Business Brokers.
At 5.30 we met at the Northcote Hotel to have a glass of orange juice before heading off to Bob Langs place to watch the Reds get trounced by the Crusaders. Thankfully the next game up was the Anzac league match with Australia v New Zealand and of course the good guys prevailed.
