Whats new? 40 years ago we all paid 60%+ of our income on a mortgage. What we didnt do was buy coffees, take-aways, a warehouse full of clothes or go on Hawaiian holidays.
Once at Heathrow, a colleague left a package at check-pin and staff could not pass it through to air side. I simply landed, went through immigration and customs. Then picked up the package from airline staff and duly passed through passport and security again to air side. Pity I forgot to pick up any duty free!
The earlier commentators need to read the article and report. 800 were WRONGLY evicted on the basis of a flawed test and no evidence whatsoever they had any involvement with drugs. It is Paula Bennett who is culpable, as the article points out. She should be paying the compensation for ministerial incompetence.
Pumping water is also the Scottish and Welsh solution. They use constant nuclear power to pump water back up the mountain at times of low demand. The water pours back down when demand is high. Use solar to do this on the SI lakes. It would be especially good in summer when the lakes are low.
Fine for Jaffas but no possible service for many in rural areas unlike free-to-view and satellite services. We are supporters too and indeed the bulk of supporters at AB and provincial games, and at grass-roots level.
I see nothing about Barrett (add Mounga, Beale and that other Kiwi Aussie who has gone walkabout) never (cant, wont ) tackle anyone oncoming. They might chase someone down but that is not good enough. Strange that the smallest 10, McKenzie, is one who makes tackles.
Milk, meat, kiwi fruit, wine etc, exports from farming, pay for cars, TVs, white goods etc, all made overseas. Those wanting to end dairying had better get a good book or two to read when the TV has gone and cars are no longer affordable. Oh, but books are all imported too!
Im retired, never been better off after 50 years of working (Oh and thanks for the winter fuel payment about to end for this year) and energised by the governments progress in re-balancing from the greedy to the needy. Confident? Im brim full.
More astounding ignorance. Hamburgers are named after the German town of Hamburg, not the meat. The original coke drinks of centuries ago did contain cocaine, until it was banned. Milk is legally defined as the secretion of a mammary gland, nothing to do with any very dilute plant powder and a load of synthetic chemicals.

Dairy industry call for ban on alternative milk labelling
Keep up. It is not the US Milk Feds pushing FDA. FDA announced last wee they will introduce labelling rules.
Richie Mo'unga is the answer to the All Blacks' composure problems

Correct
Almond milk that is 97.5% not almond
