Hit-and-run driver gets home detention
"He was sentenced to four months' home detention, 12 months' disqualification from driving, and was ordered to pay $4000 in reparation to the victim's family"
That's all he got for killing a 14 year old?😒😒
So the courts calculated that this poor wee angel that died was only worth (approx) $285.71 per year that she was alive - WTH!!!
"He's remorseful for what he's done" - really? Or is he just remorseful he got caught?
He was driving an unregistered and unwarranted car with both alcohol and cannabis in his system when this happened.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
The poor wee young lady's family are far more generous and forgiving than most of us would be.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Chinese New Year!

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
82.9% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
17.1% No. This would be impossible in practice.
