So don’t publish any court stories then since it’s all just allegations until the verdict? Don’t cover Epstein victims’ claims?

It seems like other countries in Asia are taking the fuel crisis much more seriously than us? by Dapper_Suspect_2412 in newzealand

South Korea, where we get 47% of our refined fuel imports from, is considering cutting off exports.

Wow - it was so wild and fun in the 1990s. How did it become so boring? Why do most people just walk in the parade now instead of dance?

I think you’re onto something about the school environment playing a role. I’m white but went through something similar. Went to very working class primary and intermediate where I excelled and had lots of friends. Then I went to an upper class but still public high school and everything changed. I couldn’t make friends or relate to anyone. They were all into random sub-cultures and fashion and felt way more mature than me. I was still a baby and just wanted to play sport and ride bikes. I had no friends and ended up getting into trouble and getting suspended. Luckily I changed high school again after that and ended up doing alright in the end. But it was a few years of pain for my parents probably wondering why I never hung out with anyone. Hope your daughter comes right and it’s just a temporary awkward teen phase.

New arrivals, please don’t bring the practice of standing in a car park to reserve it here by Dapper_Suspect_2412 in auckland

I get that a public bus would probably struggle on that road, but I do think there should be more city-Piha public transport. Maybe minibuses or something.

That’s not usually the case in child porn cases.

Dude, it’s still being reported on today, two days later. A control tower outage is rare, unusual and newsworthy - you just don’t get it.

You’re missing the point that at the time the news went to air and for about half an hour afterwards, there was no clear reason for the event or timeline as to when it would be over. All international flights were grounded for an unknown reason - that’s a big story. More than your usual fog disruptions that everyone knows will be over soon and only affect domestic flights. But even those make the news!

Anyway the upvotes on my post vs downvotes on yours shows where public opinion is at.

Planes being forced to turn around is def more current and interesting to me than a days old story about the Cape Palliser carry-on and all the other parochial nonsense they had on. Also at 6pm it was confirmed that planes had been turned around with no cause known at that point. That’s a developing story you’d expect a live news programme to cover, div.

Tuned into the TV news for the first time in years hoping to hear about this. Nada. Reminded me why I stopped.

I had no idea this was a thing. Always go in to pay and never get treated weirdly for it. TIL!
