An Auckland lawyer who pleaded guilty to breaching lockdown rules to travel from Auckland to Wānaka has been discharged without conviction, while her partner has been fined $750.

William John Lawrence Willis, 35, and Hannah Rawnsley, 26, travelled to Hamilton under the guise of delivering hay on September 9, while Auckland was in alert level 4.

They got through the Auckland-Waikato checkpoint unlawfully, by using essential worker exemptions.

They were then driven to Hamilton Airport, where they took a commercial flight to Queenstown, via Wellington, rented a vehicle and drove to a holiday home in Wānaka.


REALLY!!!

Now if this hadnt been a judges son and his lawyer girlfriend but someone else I bet the fine would have been a damn site worse, what an insult, good on ya justice system

Merry Christmas to all you buggers.

Eat and drink, but leave Merry alone fgs. She's knackered.

Merry Christmas to all you lovelies, including the boss and his merry little helpers, and I hope it's a joyous time, together with family/friends.

If you travelling, stay safe on the roads.

If you're driving down SH3, give me a toot, as I'm on the main road outta TeAwamutu.

If you're staying home, then eat, drink and be merry, coz you don't have to drive.

If you're a Christmas Grinch, then fill ya boots with the grumps. I'll join you. I have wine, food, home made  baileys and music.

There is a new and serious biosecurity threat in our harbours and bays, so please take note if you haven't already come across the warnings.

can anyone please recommend a good, basic image viewer for win 10, along the lines of the old viewer?

currently, my pics are opening in paint, when all i want to do is see what the thumbnail is. i think a recent update may have removed it, as it was there.

thanks in advance.

I've been waiting all day for this moment...

In situations where they are requiring unvaxxed to enter premises if they get a rapid antigen test, but the fully vaxxed can freely enter without being tested, still potentially spreading covid to everyone else both vaxxed and unvaxxed.
