Graeme Bergh is a keen motorcyclist and happens to be a NZ Police officer. He’s attended many serious motorcycle crashes and learned first-hand the factors that cause and contribute to them.

Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.

Carpet vinyl layers

Thomas from Spreydon

Hi guys I'm doing a bit of diy flooring which has worked out great but not so confident putting in a transition strip from the vinyl to the carpet. Is there any one or know of any one looking for a little cash job to put one in for me? The strip is about 3m and has a 45degree angle corner.

Will you be striking for better pay in Christchurch?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
