The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

My NEW strawberry-growing operation. =D

Sharon from Te Atatu South

A 163-litre plastic storage container bought from the Warehouse for $35, THEN I drilled holes in the base with a compass point for drainage so they don't get waterlogged, THEN half-filled it with three 30L bags of strawberry potting mix, then I took the strawberries out of their pots and put … View moreA 163-litre plastic storage container bought from the Warehouse for $35, THEN I drilled holes in the base with a compass point for drainage so they don't get waterlogged, THEN half-filled it with three 30L bags of strawberry potting mix, then I took the strawberries out of their pots and put them in, fed (with liquid feed AND solid, longer-lasting fertiliser granules!!!) and watered them well, using the existing straw from the pots as mulch, and the tall sides of the container will afford them some protection from the wind (strawberries do not like the wind, it seems!), while if it gets too bad I have the clip-on lid leaning against the galvanised steel raised vege garden bed beside it, and BOTH the container and lid are transparent so the strawberry plants can get as much light as they want (strawberries NEED plenty of sun to grow fruit!), and they are in a sunny spot (although not on an overcast day like today!). =D HOPEFULLY I should have more luck with growing the strawberries!!!!!!!! =P The HEALTHY plants are the ones I just bought, the unfortunate brown ones are the ones that got damaged by the wind, and the little wee short ones with a green leaf or two (one or two have flowers, and one has a berry forming!) are Claire Tran's plants. =D I am doing the best I can to learn from her and others how to grow them (mine keep dying!), so any input as to what I'm doing wrong/what to do would be appreciated. =D Thanks. =D

In addition, access to a treatment for respiratory disease - pirfenidone, known by brand name Esbriet - will be widened. The drugs for non-small cell lung cancer and HER-2 positive metastatic breast cancer will be available from December 1. Health Minister David Clark said the drug funding would help 420 people, "including people living with advanced cancer". "Pharmac is currently consulting on three more cancer drugs - olaparib (Lynparza) for ovarian cancer, fulvestrant (Faslodex) for breast cancer and venetoclax (Venclexta) for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia," he said in a statement. The drugs funded from December 1 will be alectinib, known as Alecensa, for ALK positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer and trastuzumab emtansine, which goes by brand name Kadcyla, for HER-2 positive metastatic breast cancer.
"It will take time to modernise our approach to cancer care and control and improve survival rates, but today signifies good progress on the delivery of our plan," Mr Clark said.
