Willie Apiata may be considered trusted but my husband informs me he most certainly couldn't trust ME with Mr Apiata ... ahh *sigh* Willie... you're dreamy..... lol

Chill out everyone, have a laugh, it's funny as

Just goes to show that this is a silly survey and few people know what "trust" means. Obviously, most people should trust their family and friends before trusting any complete stranger. We seem to think we trust people just becuase they are on TV or have done something we can relate to, like sports. Remember Brent Todd, Hugh McGahan and Doug Rollerson were all sportspeople...

Susan Devoy at number 5 is surprising after her cart wheel over Tony Veitch when she gave him a reference and then she did'nt want to.

What's so special about winning a medal?

Wow! This make sense. I think I give an Olympic medallist my Eftpos and Credit Card.......as well as the pin numbers.

If you perform an inane survey you'll get results like this. Does Social researcher Jill Caldwell have any real credentials or does she just comment on meaningless head line grabbing surveys?

I found it hillarious (and entirely appropriate) that contraversial TV presenter Paul Henry scored higher on the trust list than Police Commissioner Howard Broad.

I would trust Tariana Turia. She is a quite dignified woman of integrity in spite of media representation over the years. She would rather exit Labour party than sell out on the Forshore Seabed legislation. Also I would rank Titewhai Harawira ahead of most politicians. She does not mince words, or mislead. Whatever she thinks or believes she declares to the world, there is no deception, hiding or smoke machines which cannot be said for most politicians.

What about the great Colin Meads? He'd be in my top 10 of popular NZ figures along with Corporal Willie Apiata.

This serves only to demonstrate nothing more than warped values of our society. While some of the people mentioned are indeed of good character, achieving public notoriety is not an indicator that a person necessarily possesses good social and moral values. In fact there are many good examples of our leading citizens, especially sports personalities, who can not conduct themselves appropriately or conduct there lives to any form of moral or ethical code of conduct.
