Friends said Mr Mohini had emigrated to New Zealand six years ago from Mumbai, India, to raise his family somewhere safe.
Sadly New Zealand can no longer be regarded in this manner.  Mr Mohini was by all accounts a hard working [...]]]></description>

When asked about her views on politicians for an interview for a magazine  she said:
