Jockey Taiki Yanagida’s parents pushed for manslaughter charges over fatal crash

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The jockey at the centre of a crash that killed Waikato rider Taiki Yanagida had racked up 11 careless riding offences in less than three years, including earlier on the fatal day.

A coroner has now found that 28-year-old Yanagida might still be alive if fellow jockey Sam Weatherley had been stopped from riding again at that meet, instead of being given a deferred suspension that allowed him back in the saddle.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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, we’re 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 — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
