Terrible algae sludge in Onepoto Domain Lake.

Lorna from Glenfield

I went to Onepoto Domain to walk my dog on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. I was horrified to see a thick layer of algae sludge completely covering the lake on one side of the little bridge. All the ducks had disappeared. I observed that the sludge was increasing to the other side of the bridge too. However a team of volunteers were busy trying to scoop up the sludge at the far end. Well done! Not an easy nor a thankful task. They all deserve a medal. However, the Council should promptly get onto this problem before the algae completely blocks off the outlet to the sea, and completely smothers the whole lake.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
