HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (2016) Charity Screening on Saturday 25 July 4pm
A film by Taika Waititi. Based on the book Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump, Hunt for the Wilderpeople tells the story of Ricky (Julian Dennison), a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his cantankerous foster uncle (Sam Neill) in the New Zealand bush. A national manhunt ensues, forcing the pair to put aside their differences and work together. PAHU BARK is a nonprofit based in Ferry Landing, New Zealand. Dedicated to helping dogs. The founder also trains her own pound rescues in conservation mahi. They organise weekly micro-donations to support various animal rescues across the country. Thank you to madmanfilmsnz for their support for this event.
COME EARLY! Doors 3pm, pre-show 3:30pm

Who does NZ National Party's internal polling ? Did they have offices in NZ or are these all remotely done from UK?
I assume these aren't phone polls unless they also have mobile phone numbers.
"He said the only polling he takes note of is his National's own internal polling which gets processed in the United Kingdom."
