Tim Shadbolt: Some cliches still pass the testROBYN EDIE/FAIRFAX NZ Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt is roasted. OPINION: There is an old cliché which proclaims quite categorically that "laughter is the best medicine". Within a couple of days the charity debate was sold out and along with an auction, raised over $100,000. It's quite ironic because the film was tailor-made for the local market where the response was devastatingly negative. Tim Shadbolt is Mayor of Invercargill.
