What are your thoughts on a Waikato Expressway extension to Piarere?
The new transport minister won’t confirm if and when work on a stretch of highway he’s called “incredibly dangerous” will start.
Pleas from the locals and business leaders are for the Government to four-lane the notorious piece of State Highway 1 between Cambridge and Piarere, extending the Waikato Expressway through the area.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

S Steel Stovetop Cleaning
I am desperate to find someone who is experienced in cleaning a stainless steel stove top.The worst one was when I was making soup(about one and a half hours) and I was using a simmer mat. I have found that if I am using the burner for even an hour I get this pale brown "bloom" which is almost impossible to remove. The pics show that I have got some off but that is using steelo and I can't get around the burner. Please, only give me something that does work, so I don't wreck the thing totally. I can't take my pans off half way through cooking and wipe around, it would be too hot. I'm desperate.
Do you think Hamilton City Council should sell some airport shares?
Two senior Hamilton councillors are pushing for an airport share sell-down and international flights to and from the city.
Councillors had already asked Waikato Regional Airport Limited to aim for bigger dividends and to beef up its commitment to attracting international flights at a city economic development committee hui in March.
