We all know that the first 1000 days are the most important days in a child's life. Forget saving up to send them to the best possible secondary school. Forget putting aside money to help them through university or an apprentice training scheme. Invest in a child in the first 1000 days say all the child development experts and you will reap the rewards.As the child psychologists and developmental experts say, it only takes one person to care about a child, to nurture a child, to take an interest in

There has been much discussion in recent times about the diversity of our local councils, with Local Government New Zealand launching a campaign to ensure councils reflect the people they represent.Currently only 14% of councillors are under 40 years old, with the average age being 56 - 60. The majority are men, while 41% are women. There's also a lack of ethnic diversity with 14% of representatives Māori.Newstalk ZB Nights host Marcus Lush is also an Invercargill City councillor and he joined Kerre

We've been talking about this for what seems like months now, young people involved in brazen daylight and midnight robberies and getting away scot free.According to the Herald's Jane Phare, young people have turned away from robbing dairies because dairy owners are now locking up vapes and cigarettes, so the only takings to be had are lollies, biscuits and drinks. That’s a lot of effort for very little reward.They realize they can target high end goods at shopping malls like clothing, electrical

I have to say it was an absolute horror show on the roads again.In a way, I don't know why I'm why I was surprised because every holiday weekend you tend to see the road toll, people focus on the road toll over a specific time frame, so you become aware of how many deaths there have been.Maybe because there's been so much chat about the Road to Zero and we're going to make sure that nobody dies on the roads which could be considered a laudable aim but really seems absolutely absurd given human

Tim Beveridge: What is the future of the fuel tax cuts?

2022/04/22

I’m beginning to wonder whether the Government may have made a rod for its own back over the fuel tax cuts. If you’ll remember, they amounted to almost 30 cents a litre including the GST bit – making a huge difference to what people were paying at the pump.So, yesterday’s big news – the news everyone had been waiting for was the much-anticipated announcement of where inflation was going to be. And while it was tantalisingly close to 7 percent, it came in slightly under, at 6.9 percent, which was

It was worth a try, I suppose. I understand the concept of policing by consent, but surely that only works when you're trying to police people who understand the rules of living together in a community who want a peaceful life who choose not to commit crime, who understand consequences? For those who make their living out of crime, whose lifestyles and very raison d'etre revolves around crime and committing it, I imagine policing by consent would be a yeah nah from them.

Other of Plunket's programmes will continue including the Well-Child Tamariki Ora service - that's the early checks that many, many newborn babies have. 85 per cent of Pakeha babies, 50 per cent of Maori babies have

They seemed positive they had a really wonderful worldview. They were good people and they seem to have enjoyment in their job.

An alarming rise in the time Police take to respond to serious crime.

In Auckland City, the response time has increased from 25 minutes to an hour and 50 minutes.

The aim of the Dogphonics books is to boost the confidence and literacy of children by encouraging them to read to a dog. For young kids, one of the biggest challenges when learning to read is the anxiety that comes from stumbling over words or making mistakes in front of people.
