Show me the money

Phillip from Mount Eden

So, I went to my local cash machine to take some money out and found my bank specific automatic teller had been replaced by a generic one.

Only when the transaction was nearly complete I was informed it would cost me nearly three dollars!!! The business that the machine was attached to informed me that there was a planned roll out of this to many of the non bank machines. Tough on crime rhetoric? Try tough on banks. The recent news of paywave rorting coupled with ever diminishing active branches speaks volumes about the coldness of the bottom line. Capitalism is the root cause of a multitude of sins, from climate change to endemic poverty. What's the solution? Higher corporate taxes? Radical nationalisation of industries like telcos and utilities to subsidize social programs? The whole fabric of our future society depends on finding answers.

A white lolly brought into a drug checking clinic in Auckland was found to contain a potentially lethal amount of methamphetamine.

What you need to know:
- The lolly was in Rinda pineapple wrapping.
- It contained approximately 3g of methamphetamine, which is up to 300 regular doses.
- Consuming this much methamphetamine is extremely dangerous and could result in death.
- Ministry of Health are unsure how widespread these contaminated lollies are, so we recommend not eating them.
- It is understood the lolly was in a sealed package that was donated to the Auckland City Mission and that some lollies may have been distributed to people in food parcels.
- People who have consumed them reported an unpleasant chemical taste.

If you or someone you know has eaten one and feels unwell, call 111 immediately.
Symptoms might include:
• Chest pain
• A racing heart
• Seizures
• Hyperthermia
• Delirium
• Loss of consciousness
