Poll: Increased speed limits - do we need them?

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

A 110kmh speed limit is to be introduced on some New Zealand roads.

With 245 deaths on our roads already this year, some are asking if more speed is the right answer.

Will an increased speed limit be a good thing for Kiwis?

Vote in the poll and have your say in the comments below.

TPPA from a USA perspective

Byron from Hikurangi Coastal

It's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks… View moreIt's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks set to continue the same stonewall tactics as before, so she will be too busy to do anything with it for a couple of years. At which time it will be modified and renamed.

So, for anyone feeling withdrawl symptoms comming on, about this possible two year hiatus, there is the  TTIP ttip-leaks.org...
and TiSA. www.wikileaks.com...

Who out there in the community normally has a flutter at the Dargaville races. Will you be going on Friday? (Nov 11) Will you not be going because the special licence that has in the past allowed punters to bring their own booze has been turned down?
Have you always enjoy the laid back atmosphere of this country meet?
Are you among any of those workplaces who will now have to make other arrangements for it pre- Christmas social event? We would love to hear your comments on the situation.
