Poll: Would you give your teenager a double bed?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Does it make sense to buy teenagers bigger beds so they have more room to grow? Or, like writer and mum Jayne D'Arcy, do you think a double could equal trouble later on?

Rubbish Bin Tag Rip Off

Joseph from Glen Eden

I just found out that 80 Litre bins that are put out for emptying are meant to have BLUE tags attached to them. The cost of these BLUE tags is $2.60.

It appears to be the same for just about … View moreI just found out that 80 Litre bins that are put out for emptying are meant to have BLUE tags attached to them. The cost of these BLUE tags is $2.60. Whenever we've gone to purchase these tags the only ones available were ORANGE ones; these cost $3.60. It appears to be the same for just about everyone else in the neighbourhood because I don't recall seeing ANY BLUE tags on ANY rubbish bins so the Auckland City Council appears to be making a nice little (or large) profit at the public's expense.

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
