The number of landing alerts are on the rise at Whenuapai Airforce Base and our aging fleet of Hercules and Orions could be to blame. The question is, do we spend millions on replacement? What should our defense goals be?

The new regional fuel tax has come into effect, pushing the price of fuel up an extra 11.5c a litre at some pumps.
The revenue has been earmarked to improve Auckland’s roads and public transport, but the new tax has divided opinion.
Will the new tax change your driving and transport habits? Will you take public transport more often, carpool, or change where you fill up?
Here's some tips to beat the new regional fuel tax.

Week 1: Pets and Exotic Animal Experience
Take a trip through the animal kingdom from invertebrates through to fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, all with real 'live' representatives. Children will learn about animal survival strategies while interacting with guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, blue tongue lizards, water dragons, tortoises, turtles and more.
Pet activity only suitable for children aged 5+, craft activity available for younger children.
Week 2: Environmental Explorers
We’re partnering with MPHS Vision/Twin Streams Oratia and Opanuku so children can explore our local environment and learn while they’re having fun!
Kids will test the local water from our streams, check contamination levels and learn about what that means for the environment. This educational activity includes an information exhibition focusing on the different streams, insects and bugs that surround Henderson and the Waitakere Ranges.
Children will enjoy viewing the bug display and learning about the different leaves each insect likes to eat. They can create their own native clay animals dressed in leaves plus their own mini stream to take home.
WestCity Waitakere is the place to be these school holidays, so come join in the fun with our FREE and EDUCATIONAL kids activities this July!
Where: WestCity Waitakere
Activities will take place next to Stirling Sports on level 2

Recent research found that 43 per cent of New Zealanders have a low literacy level. Keith Quinn was one of them. Over the last four years, he has turned his life around and discovered the life changing value of literacy. Do you think we need to be placing more emphasis on literacy in New Zealand?

What do you think about the Government's new 10-year transport plan? Although the rest of the country is set to benefit from transport investment, it's a double-whammy for Aucklanders. Locals will now have to face petrol price hikes as well as the newly approved regional fuel tax.
How will this affect you and your family? Are you for or against the new plan? Will the petrol price hikes force you to use more public transport? Let us know in the replies!
