All Blacks star Jordie Barrett kicked out of Melbourne Cricket Ground during Black Caps test

Brian from New Lynn

The 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour". "The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria … View moreThe 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour". "The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told. Eyewitnesses said security at the ground were escorting people out "who had sculled two or more beers". Barrett was filmed in the MCG stands earlier in the week, wearing an old Black Caps one-day international shirt. Barrett is currently in the rugby offseason, after being part of the All Blacks' World Cup squad that were beaten by England in a disappointing semifinal exit. They ended the tournament in third place after defeating Wales in the bronze match. Barrett had a brush with the law in June last year when police were called to a house in Dunedin after the star ended up in a stranger's house in the early hours after a night out. The 22-year-old brother of Beauden Barrett was discovered by two women in a Dunedin student flat about 5am.

The Auckland CBD and public transport

Sue from New Lynn

Right now I am really over commuting around Dorkland(aka Auckland). The traffic congestion is just far too much.

I am going to give lower Albert Street a name change. Much along the lines of that movie Nightmare on Elm Street I am thinking much of Albert Street should be renamed Nightmare on Albert Street.

To have the NX1 and the other Shore buses converging on an area with ONLY ONE lane is ridiculous.

I use public transport in the evening to get from my place of work, on the Shore, back to New Lynn. Lower Albert Street especially from say the Shakespeare Tavern to Quay Street is pathetic now.

The awful thing is alot businesses and people using Albert Street are probably fed up to the back teeth with all the delays etc. It's like the so-called CRL is being dragged out too bloody long for many. And we have been told it could go on for another 5 bloody years. How many businesses along Albert Street in particular will go under whilst all that mess is going on????!!!!

 The mess that the Auckland CBD has become is off-putting to anyone who thinks a good outing for the day is to go into the Auckland CBD.

Brown dog roaming Hutchinson Avenue

Hi All,

For the last 2-3 weeks my parents have noticed a brown dog going up and down Hutchinson Avenue. It comes into our yard as well as down neighbours driveways. Doesn't have a collar and it has scared my parents quite a few times. Barks as soon as it sees anyone.

Had a noisy thief making quite a racket rummaging in my garden shed around 5am this morning, luckily I was already awake to catch him at it.
Appeared to be white, tall-ish, thin, 20's-ish, dark clothing with basketball/baseball looking top with numbers, baseball cap.
He took off when I yelled out the window at him and left a lingering overpowering smell of aftershave. Have told Police.
