Well I knew that New Zealanders love to send text messages by mobile phone, but this article about Prime Minister Helen Clark’s use of texting made me smile:

She has three mobile phone devices and has described herself as the “mistress of text” because of her frequent use of the medium to contact, cajole, corral or commend her ministers.

Corrections Minister Damien O’Connor recognised her acceptance of the medium by offering via text message to resign after his ill-judgment over the parliamentary rugby team.
