Want a REAL future in Dairy?
There are only four of the 10 places still available in 2019 at the prestigious Central North Island Dairy Academy (CNIDA), which starts in February. All of the 2018 class have begun, or are about to begin their first advanced roles in dairy, and tutor/farmer Dave Horner says there are already employers lining up for the next group of graduates.
Itโs an intensive 37-week residential programme, based near Taupo, which combines theory, practical training and on-farm experience based around the Massey University Diploma in Agriculture (Level 5). To find out more and to enrol, visit the Taratahi website.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
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?
-
37.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.2% 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, weโre 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 โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
