The drop of support for this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government is unprecedented inside the MMP political timeframe. If an example of unkindness could get to the media, that Department rushed to solve the issue because they knew Jacinda expected kindness. The first stand Jacinda made was dumping private spy company Thompson and Thompson from having anything to do with the State. Welfare punishment, state housing punishment, IRD actions, sentences, debt issues – every Department of the State was expected to be kind and they were. A Jacinda Kindness Feedback shockwave.

With a trip to Pakistan following the New Zealand tour, Wilde wrote in The Tour: “With Pakistan known to offer little in terms of Western-style nightlife, the team made the most of New Zealand”. Former England cricket captain Mike Atherton - seen here relaxing on tour in New Zealand - once found a dead shark on his bed while touring here. Wilde’s book has lifted the lids on plenty of shenanigans and scandals involving England’s national cricket team around the world.

A Boeing plane full of passengers was forced to U-turn just three hours into an 11-hour flight after its windscreen suddenly cracked. Virgin Flight VS41 was on its way to San Francisco on May 23 when the central windscreen on the Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 unexpectedly shattered. The plane, which had taken off from Heathrow just three hours earlier, was cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet, leaving cabin staff in shock. However, they ruled out the possibility of explosive decompression, which would have resulted in anything not secured to the cabin's interior being sucked out into the -50C atmosphere outside, and the flight was diverted. Pilots were compelled to return to the UK, where airport investigators were baffled to find what appeared to be dents on the four-layer-thick glass.

Red, White and Brass cast on what to expect from the new stage play at Auckland’s ASB Waterfront Theatre.

The Greek giants, Olympiacos, who are regulars in the Uefa Champions League, are also owned by billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, who accquired Nottingham Forest in 2017. Spending time in Greece is seen as the best place for Stamenic’s continued development before he returns to the Premier League club ahead of the 2025/26 season. “His express desire was the Premier League of England and the club contacted him.”The move continues a heady rise for the Wellington product, who came through the Ole Academy and Western Suburbs before leaving for Europe in 2020.

They were announced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon with much fanfare in April. Labour leader Chris Hipkins told Morning Report he backed replacing the planes and as prime minister had asked his defence minister to look into it. Stuff’s Tova O’Brien revealed former defence minister Andrew Little had wanted to put an end to it. The prime minister and Kishida struck an intel-sharing deal which would see the two countries sharing more intelligence. “The prime minister’s trade mission to Japan’s been pretty successful but who would have noticed?” he said in an article published by the Herald.

An Air New Zealand flight to Tokyo was forced to turn back to Auckland in June after sustaining damage to its windscreen mid-flight.

Photo: RICKY WILSON/STUFFFriday's grounding of the Aratere Interislander ferry shores up long-time calls for investment into the ageing fleet, Marlborough mayor Nadine Taylor says. The Cook Strait ferry is grounded at Titoko Bay near Picton and will likely remain there until Sunday after efforts to refloat the vessel were abandoned. "Both as the Marlborough District Council, who has the harbourmaster authority here, and just as a Kiwi, we want to know that we've got a safe and resilient inter-island ferry service. Friday's event comes on the heels of criticism of KiwiRail by the Transport Minister Simeon Brown about the standards of its ferry maintenance. "We've been talking about the need to provide certainty around what the future of safe, resilient, inter-island travel looks like.

Forty-seven people spent the night on the Interislander ferry Aratere which ran aground just after 10pm last night. The Interislander ferry Aratere ran aground outside of Picton after 10pm on Friday. Support vessels attach lines to the stricken Interislander ferry Aratere. KiwiRail will provide further updates publicly.”Passengers spent an unexpected night aboard the Interislander ferry, Aratere after it ran aground. MarineTraffic is showing the Interislander ferry, Aratere, has stopped.

In January 2023, the Kaitake lost power inside Cook Strait while it had 880 people on board. In 2013 the Aratere had one of its propellers simply fall off. And yesterday the steering on the Aratere failed about 15 minutes after it had set off from Picton. In both trade and travel, it is as core to the connection of New Zealand as a country as the Transpower Cook Strait cable.

Auckland power distributor Vector expects data centres to put 500 megawatts of extra demand. That’s the equivalent of the power demand from 200,000 homes. Fund managers say data centres have become “red hot”, especially since innovations like artificial intelligence put them in greater demand. This week, NZX-listed infrastructure investor Infratil easily raised $1 billion for expansion in data centres, specifically CDC, which has facilities in New Zealand and Australia. A data centre generally has a high electricity demand relative to other connections on the network.

An area of concern relevant to this deployment because the New Zealand Defence Force is suffering staff shortages. Sea drones are small and hard to detect on radar because they merge with the radar ‘clutter’ created by waves. Further, sea drones are relatively cheap and easy to produce, so are likely to proliferate quickly, even in the Pacific.
