McDonald's NZ Director of Marketing Jo Mitchell says they wanted to give back to their loyal customers. "We're all about sharing the love here at McDonald's New Zealand and know that Kiwis love the legendary cheeseburger," she said. "So we thought we'd give people what they want to satisfy those cravings." The free cheeseburger is only available to those who have downloaded the McDonald's app and sign in to claim the deal. The deal lasts until midnight tomorrow. A spokesperson for McDonald's told more than 600,000 Kiwis have downloaded the app. The move comes just days after fuel company BP gave away free petrol for an hour.

The school's rules state that students' hair must not touch the collar. James last cut his hair in January to allow him to begin school. The 13-year-old wore his hair long in memory of his grandfather Paul Hunt, who died a day before he was born and was once expelled from school for his long hair. James has employed lawyer Jol Bates to challenge Auckland Grammar's rule. Bates successfully defended St John's College student Lucan Battison in 2014 after the then-16 year-old was suspended for long hair. That judgement said schools need needed to consider "whether or not any hair rule would breach a student's right to autonomy, individual dignity and his rights to freedom of expression affirmed by Section 14 of the NZ Bill of Rights Act". Bates said there was "no evidence whatsoever" that James' hair length was causing a harmful or dangerous example to his fellow students. He said in the St John's College case, their rules were struck down by the judge on the basis that they were uncertain and vague.
But the judgement did not clarify whether the school rules breached students' human rights or were unlawful. He hoped that James Hunt's case would provide an opportunity to clarify this. "The judgement gave a tailwind to the idea that the rule was unlawful, but did not go that far," he said. Auckland Grammar has refused to budge on its rules. Principal Tim O'Connor said earlier this year that the rules were "regularly canvassed, reviewed and discussed with our school community, who do support our approach". James' mother Heidi Hunt once said they would not go to Auckland Grammar if he was forced to cut his hair. But the family changed plans, saying the school was the only one they were zoned for. James had always had long hair, his mother said. "It's who he is."
James said in January that he wanted to go to Auckland Grammar because it had a good cricket coach.

A drug that treats relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, known as Ocrevus, is also planned to be funded. They say they are seeking public feedback on the proposal to fund the three drugs by August 2019. All feedback received before the closing date will be considered by Pharmac's Board (or its delegate) prior to making the final decision on this proposal. This comes after a long-standing fight from advocacy groups and New Zealanders dying of cancer campaigning for the lives it could extend and save. Earlier this year Lung Cancer Foundation chief executive Philip Hope said five people die of the disease every day while a further six are diagnosed. It launched a petition calling for more and fairer funding from Pharmac, given the number of deaths caused by lung cancer each year. Hope said currently lung cancer drugs get $2,771,115.00 - or 2.3 per cent - of funding. More than 600 Kiwi women die each year from breast cancer, the nation's third most common form of cancer. Funding applications still pending include for Ibrutinib and Venetoclax for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia; Lenalidomide for multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer; for Lynparza and Avastin to be funded for ovarian cancer; six drugs for myeloma; Myozyme for late onset Pompe disease, a rare and fatal metabolic disorder; and medications including Keytruda, Osimertinib and Crizotinib for advanced lung cancer.
