Hi neighbours, plans to introduce a maximum wheel clamp removal fee of $100 have been announced. This comes after complaints against "predatory" clampers but an AA spokesman said the $100 fine was disproportionate for many parking offences. What do you think?

Under the proposed legislation, police will be given the power to fine individual clampers up to $1000 and a company up to $5000 for breaking the rules. These fines increased to $3000 and $15,000 respectively if the matter ended up in court. Read the full story here.

Hero worship

Stu Hunt Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Have you ever met your hero? I'm a big fan of Don McGlashan. I went to a gig in Melbourne where he was playing with the Muttonbirds.

I'm a big fan of Don McGlashan. I went to a gig in Melbourne where he was playing with the Muttonbirds. Somehow I managed to get to talk to him, he told me about how much he took scathing critiques to heart. I went to the next night's gig as well, I'm sure he thought I was stalking him. Have you met and spoken to someone you've idolised - rock, movie or sports star. Did they measure up to your expectations. Or maybe they were a crushing disappointment. We've love to hear about it.

Myrtle rust found on four sites in and around Nelson

Severe infections of myrtle rust could kill affected susceptible plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings. A Ministry of Primary Industries surveillance team found the new infections on four sites in the area recently.

The airborne disease has spread from the North Island and was found in the South Island in Collingwood, Golden Bay earlier this year. Myrtle rust affects plants in the myrtle family, which includes pohutukawa, manuka, rata, kanuka, swamp maire and ramarama, as well as commercially-grown species such as eucalyptus, feijoa and New Zealand cranberry.

The spores are thought to have crossed the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand on wind currents. Over the long term, 10 to 20 years, myrtle rust could affect iconic New Zealand plants including pōhutukawa, mānuka, rātā, kānuka, swamp maire and ramarama, as well as commercially-grown species such as eucalyptus and feijoa.

Severe infections could kill affected susceptible plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings.
