Kiwis rate sport, Aussies rate Wiggles
5:00AM Tuesday May 29, 2007

New Zealanders and Australians trust the same occupations, but different types of people.
New Zealand's 10 most trusted people include eight sportspeople. The first athlete on the Australian list is Olympic swimmer Grant Hackett, ranked 15th.
But Australians hold their entertainers in higher esteem. Children's stars the Wiggles are third on the Reader's Digest list of most trusted people.
New Zealand's highest-ranked entertainer was singer Hayley Westenra, 25th-equal with TV3 presenter John Campbell and The Warehouse founder Stephen Tindall.
Australia's top 10 also featured Bindi Irwin, 8-year-old daughter of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, and Irwin's widow, Terri.
