Let's give a warm welcome to Campbell Scott. Only one self-confessed dark mark came up. Campbell nicked the lunch box from Karl von Randow a long time ago. All forgiven, says Karl! Campbell was last seen on a launch in Viaduct Harbour exchanging hi-5s with Russian Kate Turska. In turn, Kate from KPMG  was last seen sleeping rough on Auckland's street near Aotea Square. Thanks to Chintaka from GD1II, NZVCA and PwC you can hear Shaz on "New Zealand's Economy in a Global Context". He made it through FKA's Veto Gate yonks ago but then a baby and a job got the better of him.
