I see this as another head that has rolled, in light of the tragic death of Olivia Podmore.

Cycling NZ have shown that they don't have their eye on the ball, and need to get their heads out of their arse, and give these athletes what they deserve.

I have so many recipes I've downloaded and have them stored in various places on my ipad,  Bookmarks, Favourites, Notes and photos.  Im interested to know where you all file yours.  Do you have a favourite app thats simple to use.
Looking forward to any suggestions.
Thanks.

Our most contentious poll ever  

This will be an interesting insight for everyone - the vaccine status of users of our messageboard.  Polling is anonymous so go for it...

On two recent occasions, men have been punished quite severely, for unacceptable  comments made to women years back. I do not dispute that people have no right to make such comments and that doing so should have consequences, but I do have questions about those consequences happening five or ten or even more years down the track.

People make insulting hurtful remarks to each other all the time. It is not acceptable, ever, no matter who they are. But justice delayed is justice denied and should also be unacceptable in our society. Restrospective punishment, whether it is a sportsman, or a politician, or some ordinary person, is simply an excuse to cover some agenda no one is talking about.

There should be a time limit on payback to prevent it being more a case of skeletons unearthed in order to pursue a vendetta than genuine restitution to an insulted victim. Fairness does not apply only to the one damaged by someone else's stupidity, but to the perpetrator as well.

Hi,
We need a new printer and I'd appreciate any advice as to what to buy for home use.
Thanks,

I wonder if Judith Collins was feeling the heat about getting rolled? I think she certainly will be now.

Simon Bridge has been demoted and relieved of his portfolio responsibilities.
Leader Judith Collins says it follows an "allegation of serious misconduct" relating to his interaction with a caucus colleague.

"The case relates to comments made by Mr Bridges to a female caucus colleague at a function a number of years ago," Collins says in a statement released Wednesday night.
