The New Zealand Human Rights Act includes sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination but the couple said they won't be approaching a lawyer. What do you think? Should they take out legal action?

What do you think of NZ's new P-8 Poseidon planes? The defence force are set to buy four new maritime surveillance aircraft, with submarine hunting capability, worth $2.3 billion. The Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol planes will be delivered by 2023, and will replace the ageing P-3 Orions.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force Squadron No.5 will also shift from Whenuapai to Ohakea as "ageing" Orion aircraft are phased out.
Do you thinks it's a good move? Or should the money have been spent elsewhere? Let us know in the replies!

Countdown supermarkets are recalling a frozen vegetable mix as a precaution amid fears it could contain a particularly dangerous strain of listeria that has been linked to nine deaths overseas.

The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) confirmed the recalled products have been traced back to a Hungarian facility, known to be the source of the listeria.
A Countdown spokeswoman said the supermarket had been advised there was a potential risk its Bell Farms Steam Veggies, Carrot, Corn and Broccoli bags contained the bacteria.
The company withdrew one batch of the Bell Farms frozen vegetables on Friday from all Countdown, SuperValue, and FreshChoice stores and has since recalled all batches of the product. Anyone who has purchased this product can return it to any of our stores for a full refund.
Frozen vegetables generally pose no risk if cooked correctly before eating, she said. Listeria can cause illness in pregnant woman and their unborn babies, newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
Information on the recall is available here. More information on food safety and listeria can be found here.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

TRANSCRIPTION:
Max: Today we are talking about the cost to import one pallet from Australia to New Zealand. We’re going to discuss how you can import one or more pallets of general goods.
Let’s discuss what a standard pallet is. It’s anything that doesn’t require special care: your appliances, furniture, clothing. Also important to specify that one pallet has a standard size – 1m wide, 1m deep and 1m high, which is 1 cubic meter, up to 300 kilos.
If you want to import from any major port in Australia – whether it’s Sidney, Melbourne or Brisbane – to major ports in New Zealand - Oakland, Christchurch and Tauranga – you can use these rates; they are applicable in all situations.
#1. FREIGHT
Max: First and one of the most critical cost would be your ocean freight. If you want to move the goods from major ports in Australia to a major port in New Zealand, for 1 cubic meter, you’re going to pay roughly 50 USD for your ocean freight.
#2. NZ PORT FEES
Max: Then upon arrival, you have to move the container from the port to a local warehouse to unload it and make it available for you to pick it up. These are “New Zealand port fees”; I would allow roughly a hundred NZD per 1 cubic meter.
#3. EXTRAS
Max: Then, you’ve got extra fees: documentation fees, customs brokerage fees. I would allow 250 NZD for these extra fees.
If you convert everything – from USD to NZD – and add everything up, the cost of importing a 1 cubic meter pallet from a major port in Australia to New Zealand will be 420 NZD.
As you can see, it’s not that expensive to import, and these are your mandatory costs. I’ll explain later what are the extra fees, and how you can minimize them.
You’ve got 420 NZD, that’s your minimum to import one pallet of standard goods that don’t require special care.
On top of that, you want to think about cargo insurance. Cargo insurance is roughly 1% of the insured amount.
Say, if it’s costly machinery and it’s 200 000 NZD, then that would be 200 NZD just for the insurance, that’s on top of 420 NZD. That’s a minimum level. If it’s, say, 5 000 NZD, expect to pay 200 NZD for the insurance.
You have to decide whether it’s worth the risk. We advise all our clients to have cargo insurance; it’s paramount, especially if that’s your first import to New Zealand, you don’t want to risk.
Another extra fee that you want to think about is the tracking – once the cargo arrives in New Zealand, you have to consider how you’re going to transfer the goods from this local warehouse to your warehouse or your house.
A freight forwarder can help you with that: they can hire the truck, arrange the delivery. I would allow 100 NZD for 1 cubic meter, that’s minimum on top. If you have bad access, you may need to hire a crane; they charge 200 NZD an hour.
You have to be careful about that; if you order the truck, make sure that it will fit your driveway. You can send the photos to your truck driver and get written information, that there’s going to be easy access.
BONUS TIPS #1. COSTS TO IMPORT 1+ PALLET
Max: If you want to import more than one pallet – say, three pallets of the same size, 3 cubic meters up to 1 ton – you don’t multiply 420 NZD by 3; this can be too expensive, you might as well send the whole container. If you send three pallets, you only multiply these two on the top, and the rest will be fixed.
The more you send, the cheaper it is. Always negotiate; you can easily knock down 10%. If you send 10-12 shipments a year, you can get even better discounts – 15% easy.
