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.

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.

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.

A few weeks ago I asked around for a builder recommendation to do a small renovation job i.e. building walls and large cupboards, installing cavity sliders, re-lining the bathroom and extending the deck etc.
I was given Mike Dick's details and from his initial quote throughout the whole building process, he and his son have been excellent in all forms.
His layman communications in dealing with myself (nosy and basic knowledge of building female), his suggestions for other tradies as required (due diligence still done by me to compare quotes) through to his exemplary workmanship.
My builder husband who passed away last year would have been pleased I had found someone of Mike's calibre to do this job.
I believe when you find someone who has provided such excellent service, you should shout it from the rooftops or even better, post it on Neighbourly 😉
Cheers

One myth about sport every parent should know

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:
