The Newstalk ZB Justin du Fresne Memorial Debate
The Background:
On August 25th 2016, an iconic broadcaster, family member, associate or mate, was lost with Justin losing his battle with cancer.
It has been a massive loss to many. This was typified when in excess of 500 people attended his funeral at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Paraparaumu.
Justin was the consummate professional broadcaster spanning his 50 year career.
He will be remembered, and he deserves to be remembered, and we want to enhance that memory by instituting a humorous debating series.
(A) in memory of Justin, and
(B) As a fundraising event to assist with the construction of Our Lady of Kapiti Catholic Church; a cause that was very dear to Justin, and a cause that he would totally endorse for these events.
