This is a comment about the title rather than the content, but was it really necessary for stuff to put the 'help, help' quote in the title? It comes across as a bit weird. The title would be better without it.

Yeah, I'd have edited out the pull quote but I'm used to not being allowed to editorialise titles.

It was more a comment on the appropriateness of it on the part of Stuff. It just doesn't feel right.

Stuff have no shame

It's not even a useful quote. It adds nothing.

The article is missing so much information. I wish Stuff would do a bit of journalism before posting.
