If you caught the news on TV One tonight, you would have seen a great little story about this guy called John Stansfield. He was reported as 'jail breaking' unused land to use for gardening, which is a great way to use land that is basically being wasted by the council.
Waihekepedia reports:
Most excellent! Amongst his various achievements, Stansfield is involved with organic farming and founded Clean Stream Waiheke Ltd, which employs twenty people and along with other community-based organisations helps keep Waiheke Island beautiful.
Clearly John Stansfield is the type of Kiwi New Zealand needs more of... So well done mate, you've won this weeks Hero award.

John Stansfield is a colourful, iconic islander and part of the left-wing collective known as Orapiu Grove Farm. He is an organic farmer, solar water heating salesman, political activist and wag. Once a union organiser and chief executive of the Problem Gambling Foundation, admits he took a delight in making life miserable for the gambling industry. He calls pokie machines the "crack cocaine" of the gambling industry and has been known to have one-armed bandits dropped from helicopters to make a point.
