ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.
"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."
Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

Recently a Hawkes Bay Ebike group spent time cycling the various cycle trails starting at Paeroa. Only one section had a bad review and it was very much so.

Only one section had a bad review and it was very much so. This was the Paeroa to Thames section with its stupid 57 concrete judder-bar cattle stops. These were considered a "huge spoiler" being "heart in mouth" frightening. Suffice to say word of mouth in the cycling community is very negative and repeat visits highly unlikely.
It is particularly sad, because local businesses such as Tastebud Cafe, The Convenient Cow and The Wharf provide such excellent local support to visitors, only to be let down by the quality of the trail.
Yet councils utterly misguided focus is merely to place expensive artworks along the trail. Te Aroha has some wonderful artworks but these are NOT at all a focus for cyclists. It is the quality of the ride.
Thame's businesses you are being let down.

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
