Two high-profile resignations from Parliament's left-bloc could spell out trouble for Team Hipkins. Former Green MP Elizabeth Kerekere's left the party, whilst being investigated for bullying. And Former Labour MP Meka Whaitiri's jumping ship to Te Pati Maori. Both will stay on as independents until the election. NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan says it's hard for Chris Hipkins to claim these parties are unified. "The parties that support him are kind of jumping between each other,

2023/04/30

Small Mercies by Denis Le Hane. I love Denis LeHane’s writing. Many readers will remember Mystic River but my own personal favourite is The Given Day which was set in Boston, as is this new one. Mary Pat is a hardworking nurse in a retirement home, living in the Projects. She had two husbands – one died and one left; heroin killed her son after he came back from Vietnam and her daughter Jules is worrying her sick. When Jules goes missing Mary Pat is desperate and determined to do whatever it takes

Mike Van de Elzen: Spiced Beef Sausage Rolls

Last week, Hazel cooked some store-bought sausage rolls for lunch. Understanding that commercially made products like sausage rolls need to return a profit margin. But I have never been disappointed by what I had. They were terrible. Honestly beef sausage rolls should have some beef in them, not just fillers. So I took it upon myself to make some with Hazel and wow, beef sausage rolls made from scratch with beef in them are actually quite delicious! What I do is make them in bulk and freeze. They

Scientists have found the secret to getting kids to eat their greens and it’s much simpler than you might think. New research published in the journal JAMA Network Open found that giving children 10 more minutes to consume what’s on their plate resulted in them consuming 7 more mouthfuls of fruit and vegetables than if they were restrained to a twenty minute dinner time. The study took 50 children aged between 6 and 11 years old and fed them dinner with their family. The dinner consisted of a

I have not had a conversation with anyone about - and let’s call it by its official name - the Ceremony Of The Coronation Of Their Majesties. Except my producer, because it’s our job to talk about what’s going on! But aside from Kerrie, who is very much looking forward to the event, nobody I know - family, friends, kids, anyone - is talking about King Charles III’s long awaited coronation. We still have a week to go, but right now there doesn’t seem to be much interest from Kiwi’s in this
