Hi Wellington,

What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.

A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".

What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? 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.

Hi Neighbours
Who do you recommend for a w.o.f.
Here are some issues we had with our current garage.

- we gave the car at 8.00 a.m. last week. At 3.00 p.m. when we called to ask if the car is ready, we were told that some repairs are needed. Why couldn't they call us? We were told shock absorbers are needed and to bring it back following week.


2) We took the car today at 9.30 - they promised the shock absorbers would be ordered once the car is delivered since they have to measure it and would arrive within an hour. (Why couldn't they do the measurement previous time? Again they promised the car would be ready around 1.00 p.m.


3) When I went at 1.00 p.m. they said, the parts were only ordered at 11.00 a.m and have just arrived.

Almost 50mm of rain fell in the Wellington region last night, and the temperature on Monday is expected to get to just 12C, with heavy and possibly thundery showers, and gale northerlies easing.

FORECAST: Northwest winds may approach severe gale in exposed places at times. Winds should ease from the south this afternoon and evening.

Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and powerlines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes do occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
