Just wanted to say thank you to both team New Zealand and The Luna Rosa Italian Team for the exciting racing you have entertained alot of us with. Thank you team NZ for keeping the old mug here again and making us all proud to be Kiwi's and to help us take our minds away from the dreaded Covid -19 for a while. But I also want to say a big thank you to the Luna Rosa Team whom have lived and worked alongside us Kiwi's to help keep the cup event alive even through this pandemic is causing havoc back in their homeland your crew and support people would have been worried day by day for friends and family back home but then having to keep focused on trying to win the America's cup, you may have lost the race but you have won a place in kiwis hearts and we hope that you will come back next time to race us again. NZ would also like to thank all the other race teams that have spent months or even years here preparing for the America's cup challenge. You have laughed with us cried with us and gone through the pandemic with us we have supported you all and you have all supported us, we hope that you will support us again and return for the next America's cup challenge. We will welcome you all back with a smile.
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?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% 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!

What is it?
