NZ's highest-earning red light camera rakes in nearly $650,000 in fines in first year

Brian from New Lynn

Motorists on Auckland’s North Shore have kept a red-light camera extremely busy in its first year of operation.
In the 12 months from June 2018 to June to 2019, $642,000 in fines were issued by the fixed-position camera.

Motorists on Auckland’s North Shore have kept a red-light camera extremely busy in its first year of operation.
In the 12 months from June 2018 to June to 2019, $642,000 in fines were issued by the fixed-position camera.
It's a figure that even the AA, which supports the use of red-light cameras, says is concerning. “A camera issuing that many tickets, your're just not getting the right road safety result,” AA advisor Barney Irvine told Seven Sharp.
The camera was installed at the intersection of Esmonde Road and Fred Thomas Drive, near the Northern Motorway on-ramp, as part of a wider rollout of cameras across the city. Each new single camera costs $46,828, generally purchased by Auckland Transport and is monitored by police. “The camera there issued two-thousand tickets in the first four months of the year, and that’s way ahead of what we’re seeing on other roads with the same amount of traffic. It’s just far too high,” Mr Irvine says. The AA is now calling on Auckland Transport to investigate other options for cracking down on red-light infringements. In a statement, Auckland Transport says that it is aware that “this intersection is a high infringement zone” and that they are looking at ways to make signage and signals clearer. “This will include additional traffic lights (one that sits over the intersection) and flashing studs in the road seal to warn people of the upcoming red signal.” Mr Irvine says sometimes a red-light camera by itself just isn’t enough.

Swearing At Work? Does Anyone In This World Have A Right To Tolerate Such Behaviour?

This is what Seven Sharp and what this lady said about swearing.

www.tvnz.co.nz...

Here is the info I have copied from the website as well:

A Wellington coffee cart worker who was fired for using bad language feels like "a weight" is off her shoulders after being awarded $16,000 for unfair dismissal.
Rachel Ferrari was sent packing from her Flying Bean coffee cart job in Petone in May 2018.
Ms Ferrari admitted she often used colourful language with customers, but only when the situation warranted it.
"It's not like I would come out with a swear word in everyday conversation I would gauge the customer and if they were having a bad day try and put a smile on their face," she told Seven Sharp.

"They'd always leave with a laugh."

However, after receiving a warning from her boss over language, a customer then complained and Ms Ferrari lost her job around two months later.
She lawyered up, and a recent decision saw her awarded $16,000 for unfair dismissal.

"It feels like a weight is off my shoulders, completely my name is cleared," she said.


Stuff reports that Flying Bean "denied Ferrari's claims and said her dismissal was procedural and substantively fair."
Ms Ferrari now has a new job serving coffee in Upper Hutt.

When asked if she has since curbed her language when interacting with customers, Ms Ferrari said: "I took points from my new boss, watched him with a couple of customers and I thought OK then this is fun, this is my environment."

My take, it does not matter what ethnicity you are or any culture you live in , I believe you can work as any employer or employee without swearing. It is just not needed especially if you are working in a job where you are working face to face with customers. Outside the work place, you can say whatever you want, in the workplace, NO WAY!

What do others think? Does anyone think or need to having swearing at work?

Westgate welcomed a new childcare centre!

Set apart from other centres by the unique philosophy of ‘one child at a time’, Eduplay Childcare in Westgate believe that children all grow and develop in their own unique way. This means the entire centre is focused on the individual child’s development to ensure they progress from room to room and a more stimulating environment when they are ready and not only according to their age.

An important point of difference is that Eduplay is a sugar-free centre serving wholesome, nutritious, meals for children enrolled in their all-day programme. Centre founder, Tupa’i Apa says “our goal is to provide an eating environment that promotes the development of good eating habits and supports family and multicultural values”.

Eduplay Westgate is a large centre that feels small. This is mainly due to the fact the five age-appropriate rooms all have their own separate playgrounds. Head Teacher, Sarah Keown, says, “age-appropriate playgrounds and rooms are essential in large centres, and keeping them separate from each other ensures that our teachers can monitor the experiences they set up to ensure the safest possible environment.” Eduplay Westgate also has its own car park which makes drop off and pick up easy and stress-free.

We're currently enrolling so pop in and have a look around before we fill up.
