EMIRATES passengers can watch the Rugby World Cup 2019 live onboard
Fans of the All Blacks - or any other team - who have travel booked with Emirates over the next couple of weeks will no longer have to worry about missing any of the Rugby World Cup 2019 action. The Dubai-based airline is screening all games through its own in-flight, 24-hour sports channel. Using a network of satellites around the world, the RWC game broadcasts are picked up by special receivers built into 177 of the airline's fleet, including all of its Airbus A380 aircraft. The airline offers live sports to all passengers, alongside broadcasts from BBC News, Sky News, CNN, CNBC and NHK World. Sport24 is a channel specifically set up to deliver sport to airlines and cruise ships in partnership with Panasonic Avionics. If you believe you may be flying during one of the games, then check with the airline or wherever you booked about the live service being available on your flight, and remember to dress in your supporter gear!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
