I don't mind but in some parks they do need to be put on a lead.

A person with a dog has been seen letting his dog run off the lead in Mooneys North Bridge Reserve. There are Ducks and Ducklings there. Dogs kill Ducklings.

We have been visited by a Duck and originally 11 Ducklings, and since their birth only 4 Ducklings remain. I am sure it is not just the Pukakos and the rats...

Domino’s is under fire after adding a tipping feature to its online ordering system, with critics saying the pizza chain should “pay staff properly” instead of relying on customer generosity.

But Domino's says the system helps keep its workers safe and there is no obligation to tip.

The new feature gives customers the option to pay a fixed amount or choose their own tip for their “delivery expert” before completing payment.

The move has been met with outrage on social media where some have said Domino’s should “pay staff properly instead”.
