Dog walkers in Auckland's Remuera and Pt Chevalier have been leaving poo bags where rubbish bins used to be. The council's been removing bins with low historical use since last November to save money.

New US-based research suggests women are less likely to die when treated by female doctors. A study has followed people 65 and older, observing data on those who died within 30 days of seeing a doctor. 8.15 percent of women who died had been treated by female physicians, but that rose to 8.38 percent for women who'd been seen by a man. For male patients, their doctor's gender made no difference. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says the numbers may seem like a tiny gap, but it could save 5,000 lives

I have got nothing bad to say about Chris Luxon demoting Melissa Lee and Penny Simmonds today. This is exactly the kind of performance management that the country deserves, don't you think?

He said judges and lawyers hate it so much, they will find ways around it so they don’t have to implement it. He said because the law will now only apply to crimes with sentences over two years – 24 months, “we will see a lot of sentences at 23 months because judges and lawyers... hate this.” Now... that’s a shocker.
