All Blacks star Jordie Barrett kicked out of Melbourne Cricket Ground during Black Caps test

Brian from New Lynn

The 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour". "The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria … View moreThe 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour". "The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told. Eyewitnesses said security at the ground were escorting people out "who had sculled two or more beers". Barrett was filmed in the MCG stands earlier in the week, wearing an old Black Caps one-day international shirt. Barrett is currently in the rugby offseason, after being part of the All Blacks' World Cup squad that were beaten by England in a disappointing semifinal exit. They ended the tournament in third place after defeating Wales in the bronze match. Barrett had a brush with the law in June last year when police were called to a house in Dunedin after the star ended up in a stranger's house in the early hours after a night out. The 22-year-old brother of Beauden Barrett was discovered by two women in a Dunedin student flat about 5am.

The Auckland CBD and public transport

Right now I am really over commuting around Dorkland(aka Auckland). The traffic congestion is just far too much.

I am going to give lower Albert Street a name change. Much along the lines of that movie Nightmare on Elm Street I am thinking much of Albert Street should be renamed Nightmare on Albert Street.

To have the NX1 and the other Shore buses converging on an area with ONLY ONE lane is ridiculous.

I use public transport in the evening to get from my place of work, on the Shore, back to New Lynn. Lower Albert Street especially from say the Shakespeare Tavern to Quay Street is pathetic now.

The awful thing is alot businesses and people using Albert Street are probably fed up to the back teeth with all the delays etc. It's like the so-called CRL is being dragged out too bloody long for many. And we have been told it could go on for another 5 bloody years. How many businesses along Albert Street in particular will go under whilst all that mess is going on????!!!!

 The mess that the Auckland CBD has become is off-putting to anyone who thinks a good outing for the day is to go into the Auckland CBD.

Year: 2004 (2004-09)
Make: TOYOTA
Model: COROLLA
Colour: Red
Submodel: RUNX
Body Style: Hatchback
Price : $5500 ONO

The car is in mint condition. First owner in nz and a lady driver. This car belongs to my mother and she’s looked after this well. There are is a small ding (pic attached) which is was due to a trolly at the supermarket. We got this at 25xxx (paper work provided).

The car is serviced regularly, we just had new Bridgestone tyres put in couple of months back + a brand new battery. Wof and rego both expire in 2020. All the windows are tinted to the legal requirements. The back is factory and the front two were done at hyper drive. Can provide paper work if need be.

She’s a real breeze to drive, never given us any problems. Thoroughly reliable and this model of the runx has a sun roof too. Selling as this is now a surplus to requirements.

Price: $5,500

Surf Lifesaving chief exectuive Mark Williams said there is a constant risk particularly when offshore winds are blowing.
He recommends taking great care and extra vigilance around the use of such flotation devices, which are a popular Christmas present, especially by young children who can very quickly be pushed out of their depth.

Recipe: Summer Berry Ice cream

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

Homemade ice cream needs to be eaten. It is best consumed within 24 hours as it will be more soft and creamy.

If you freeze ice cream over time, it will often form large ice crystals on the surface or become rubbery. With some raw fruits such as peach, nectarine and kiwifruit, the colour will change and ice cream will not look so attractive.
To serve, It’s best to take the ice cream out of the freezer.

Ingredients
110 g Caster sugar

3 Tbsp Water

3 Egg whites

250 ml Cream

300 g Berries, we have used blackberries and blueberries
