Hello broadsheet,
We are The Kitchen Boyz, (former member of The Midnight Phil Eoin Callers), now based in New Zealand. We didn’t have any decent cameras to film this so its mainly on iphones and argos camcorders. Band consists of Phat Traxxx (Dublin) DJ$ (Texas) and The Reverend Jessie Hendrix (California). The band formed in New Zealand about 6 months ago and we’ve been playing the live circuit for a bit. I know broadsheet has quite a few ex-pats living here in NZ so I’m hoping you can throw this up and maybe get a bit of interest as we are having our last gig here in Auckland quite shortly. Would be amazing to get a load of people together in Auckland holding’ their “Gunz Up”.

The Giant Gippsland Earthworm, a protected species native to the wet riverbank clays of Victoria Australia, ranges from one to three metres in length and upward of 2cm in diameter.

The worms rarely surface but their presence can be detected by a clearly audible ‘gurgling’ sound as they slither through their labyrinthine burrows.

Nice.

Former taoiseach and Fine Gael leader John Bruton has created a political headache for his successor, Enda Kenny, by declaring the Government’s planned abortion legislation is contrary to the Constitution.

Mr Bruton claims it is “not consistent with the plain words of the Constitution” to include the threat of suicide in the terms of the legislation that will permit abortion where a woman’s life is at risk.

The Coalition has committed to introducing legislation to give effect to the Supreme Court judgment in the X case which found that a threat of suicide constituted a threat to a mother’s life.

Minister for Health James Reilly is due to bring the draft heads of the Bill on the subject to the Cabinet shortly.

‘Fresh divisions within the coalition’ ahoy.
