Poll: How safe are we?
I live in the Wellington region and we are apparently waiting for the next big earthquake to hit our region. Local buildings are being forced to make changes to protect the public, just in case that earthquake happens.
When I shop I visit several supermarkets, including one that is very proud of the fact that they have pallet loads of goods stacked above the aisles, a few of the aisles have cages in place to stop movement but most of the aisles don't.
My questions for you are - if you use this supermarket chain:
1) Have you have visited in a region not expected to have earthquakes (Auckland) - have any cages been put up above the shelves?
2) In earthquake prone areas, has your local supermarket put up cages for your protection? I would hope that all the stores in the Christchurch area have been done.
3) Have you ever looked up at the top of the shelves and seen all the items just waiting for the day they can come down on staff and customers? I don't fancy my chances of being able to dodge them in the packed aisles.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
