Poll: Do you clean your reusable bags?

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

A mum is concerned about her young boy and some others keep getting bitten by the same kid at childcare. She says she is now "fed up to the stage where we gonna pull out our kids" because of a lack of action from staff.
What could be a solution here? How could staff at the childcare place stop a very young kid from biting? Talk with its parents?
She says the place normally does an awesome job - she's just sick of the biting!

Should the kids have been made to stand?

Reporter Kapi-Mana News

On a train tonight, a mother was sitting by her two kids who were about three or four years old. They had headphones on and were entertained. A woman in her 50s got on the train with a friend.

They had headphones on and were entertained. A woman in her 50s got on the train with a friend. She walked up to where the kids were sitting, sort of gave them a long look, then stood at the end of the carriage once it was obvious they were not worried. The woman, who was you know average weight etc before we get into that sort of thing, then complained to her friend about the kids and especially their mum for not shifting.
I am not sure if she is right or wrong here.
If the mum told the kids to move for the women, they might’ve got bored on the long trip - at least a half hour or more - and maybe got dirty sitting on the floor or annoyed people on the busy train right?
So what should happen?
The women did not appear physically disabled - just grumpy.

It's been reported that half of people think the royal tour, which cost the NZ taxpayer about $1million, was a bad spend.
But piles of other news has looked lovely.
It would've been cool to see them in Porirua. So where would people have taken them? Where would you have recommended the royals visit if they had, say, a day to visit Porirua?
