Description

Shows Helen Clark (Prime Minister), George Hawkins (Minister of Police) and Robert Robinson (Police Commissioner) sitting a frying pan over a fire. All are calling 111 on their cellphones. The emergency response service run by the New Zealand Police was called into serious question after they had sent a taxi to the wrong location in response to a 111 call from Iraena Asher, a young woman in distress, at Piha, in early October 2004. Asher went missing and has never been found.
