A debate about the unwritten rules of café etiquette has surfaced after an incident in Napier. Reporter Mark Story was asked to leave Napier café Smiths, after being told he hadn't spent enough to stay longer than an hour. Kiwi restaurateur Martin Bosley says different establishments are likely to have different house rules. "I think it's common sense... if the place is empty, if there's no one around, you're not casing any problems, it'd be absolutely fine. Cafés want people in them." LISTEN

I'm starting to get a little bit nervous about whether we are ever going to be able to attract overseas investors back into our oil and gas industry.I mean, you think about it - the world has known since October last year that we were back open for business, because that’s when the coalition Government won the election. From there, it was clear that all three parties wanted to reverse the oil and gas ban. Since October, the world knew things were going to change in New Zealand.But from what I can

Resources Minister Shane Jones yesterday confirmed the ban on petroleum exploration beyond onshore Taranaki will be reversed in the coming months.
