Rebecca Templeman told a jury of six men and six women about
her frantic search for her daughter on the night of Saturday
November 1, 2008, after the 15-year-old failed to respond to
text messages.
Crumbs! Who would have thought, following the response Don
Brash and his colleagues on the 2025 Taskforce received from
critics - particularly from the left of the political
spectrum - and the Government's own decidedly lukewarm
reaction to its report, that the next person to come along
and shovel dirt on the "catch-up-with-Australia" enterprise
would be none other than Dr Brash's successor at the Reserve
Bank, Alan Bollard.
