Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

This week we feature a picture and words from Louise Thomas.

"Here's a twofer for my 2022 list. A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. Showing you don't even need to be the same species to get along - they remind me of me and my husband - he's the skinny one dozing off while I'm talking. Birds #27 and #28 for 2022."

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?
