Stormy weather expected this week, while tropical moisture could increase flood risk later in winter
The settled weather is expected to last until Monday, but then there’s a chance of heavy rain for northern and central areas. The rest of winter and early spring were likely to be warmer than average, but plumes of tropical moisture could cause heavy rainfall that could increase the flooding risk. Niwa says plumes of tropical moisture may increase the risk of flooding in many parts of the country during the next few months. Rainfall was likely to be near normal or above normal in the north and west of the North Island and north of the South Island. It would most likely to be near normal in all other regions.

Under the Radar: 5 year zero covid policy fallout, Cassidy Hutchinson saves America, Supreme Court loves coal + Stuff’s 5th Column
This week, 5 year zero covid policy fallout, Cassidy Hutchinson saves America, Supreme Court loves coal + Stuff’s 5th Column5 year zero covid policy fallout:Interesting story of an interview with a Chinese Offical who admitted that China’s severe Zero tolerance policy towards Covid that has seen vast chunks of the country placed under oppressive restrictions and caused turmoil to the domestic and global economy would be as long as 5 years is interesting. Cassidy Hutchinson saves America:Let’s take a moment here to pay due respects to Cassidy Hutchinson. The Supreme Court believes Corporations are humans and as such their property rights are akin to personal autonomy. The Supreme Court is now at odds with the vast majority of the Americans it enslaves with its religious bigotry. Or maybe there is a 5th Column inside the Woke Hivemind of Stuff who are now actively challenging identity politics dogma?

'Gullible' man imported $200k of meth after falling victim to scammers
(File photo)An “unusually naive and gullible man” brought 1.4kg of methamphetamine into New Zealand after being fooled by scammers, it’s been revealed. The case of Gregory Jason Martin has been outlined in a decision released on Friday from the Court of Appeal. That suitcase contained 1.4kg of meth, which would have had a street value of between $188,000 and $280,000. Martin, who Justice Goddard described as an “unusually naive and gullible man”, had been concerned the bag contained drugs. Despite his fears, he entered New Zealand, where Customs officers found the meth hidden within the lining of the bag.

Countdown moves toward phasing out plastic produce bags
Photo: RNZ (file)Single-use produce bags are to be phased out by Countdown - the first New Zealand supermarket chain to do so. Some Countdown stores will remove plastic produce bags ahead of a shift to get rid of them in all of the chain's stores. Most single-use plastic grocery bags were banned in New Zealand from 1 July 2019, but an exception was made for produce bags, bin liners and dog-poo bags. Greenpeace said Countdown's plan to remove the plastic produce bags would be a positive step, but more could be done. Lee also called on Countdown to not replace the single-use plastic produce bags with paper, and said that still resulted in too much unnecessary environmental damage.
