Poll: What do you think of this new sculpture?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

It’s pointing the way to Taupiri, it’s 12 metres high, it weighs 12.5 tonnes and you simply can’t miss it.

The stunning new sculpture at the intersection of State Highway 1 and 29 in Piarere has been turning heads since its installation last month - but there is more to this mighty avian’s story than you might expect.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
