Poll: Is it time to lower the speed limit on NZ's open roads?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

Hey hey my friend,

My name is Janice and I am a graphic designer from Flat Bush.

I am the creator of the Make It Your Best Year Yet Life Planner (2nd Edition)! If you haven't tried digital/printable planners yet, you are missing out! You see, I've since sold hundreds of my digital planners to the US, Canada and UK market and now I am opening to the Kiwi market too because I don't want you to miss out the wonderful benefits of using printable planners.

✨My Quick Story✨

Did you know that I was a stressed out, exhausted, worka-holic mum that doesn't know where to stop? In short, my whole life was a mess and I know that I needed to change. Click the link below to read more of my story.

Two years fast forward... I am happier and in a much clearer state of mind than I had ever been before. This is all thanks to the power of printables! I soon realized that the simple act of writing your thoughts down on paper and following my intuition has become an integral part of my success to break free from my cluttered mind and shiny-object-syndrome.

✨Features & Benefits✨

This planner was carefully thought out and beautifully crafted to be as useful as possible so you can have a great start to goal planning.

The printable planners are easy to move around (because they are digital) and they are eco-friendly too because you get to pick and choose the pages that you want to print. That way you save ink and paper. You can then just print them out right from your own home or and put them in your A4 or A5 binder. Whatever you want, really. Plus, you get to keep them FOREVER and use them again and again for as long as you want or when you need them.

If you haven’t yet sat down to plan for the rest of the year (there's over 6 months to go before the year ends), this Life Planner is perfect for you! This beautiful and elegant planner will help bring you clarity to your goals, projects, schedule, and life!

You will also find little snippets of motivational quotes on these printables to inspire you and keep you motivated as you plan your monthly, weekly or daily goals.

Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.

Once Were Warriors 25 years on: Gangs and being poor, then and now

Hi Neighbours

In the quarter-century since Once Were Warriors graced our screens, not much has changed for Auckland's poor. In fact, it could be argued things have got worse.

While the country bounced back from the economic downturns of the early 1990s and 2008, by some measures the gap between the rich and the poor is wider.

Māngere Budgeting Services chief executive Darryl Evans says although minimum wage had risen to $17.70, that wasn't enough to sustain a family living in Auckland.
