So I note the Police commissioner was saying the other day re the surge in youth offending, that it’s up to us to do more about it, and look after our communities better. And then hospitality came out and said staffing issues in the sector may be on us as well. What they’re saying is that customers are getting ruder these days, that abuse and poor treatment of hospitality staff is getting more commonplace, and that they’re sick of it - and we need to do better. It’s apparently turning many off the

Former US President Donald Trump is preparing to launch his third campaign for the White House, this afternoon NZ time, looking to move on from disappointing midterm defeats and defy history amid signs that his grip on the Republican Party is waning. Trump had hoped to use the GOP’s expected gains in last week’s elections as a springboard to vault himself to his party’s nomination by locking in early support to keep potential challengers at bay. Instead, he now finds himself being blamed for backing

So I had quite the day yesterday. And here's the thing, I wish I was one of those people who knew how to react in the moment. I always think of stuff I should have said or done, after that fact. Yesterday I had a very stark example of that. I got bitten by a dog. Now I adore dogs, I’ve never been bitten by one, I love them, I grew up with them, I’ve owned them myself, they’re the greatest companions in the world, I think they’re adorable. But not all of them are. Some are downright vicious, and

How good was that rugby Saturday night? I could not take my eyes off it. And I’m not a rugby person, I haven’t really followed the Black Ferns season too closely, I only switched the game on when it was 14 nil to England and I thought oh here we go, it’s going to be a walk in the park for the English. You know, good on us for getting this far, but we can’t win this with the way they just walk us backwards over the line. But then... then the game turned... it was riveting. It was edge of the seat

I see Meta is planning large scale layoffs for thousands of workers following a hiring freeze and a share price fall of 70 percent this year. 12,000 so called ‘underperforming’ employees could face the chop. Meta’s been under fire for a while now - Zuckerberg getting Metaverse obsessed hasn't helped. I have a hunch the only person really living in the Metaverse is Zuckerberg and I’m not sure why tech companies keep wanting to push us into a virtual existence, forgoing the real one we have right
