Porirua's most famous boogie boarder has done it again. Hayley Putawai from Titahi Bay hit headlines last year after flying down Huka Falls on his board. Now he's done it on a massive wave in Bali.
He's developing a growing popularity, and even though he's a solid swimmer this stuff is obviously not without its risks.
So what do people think?

Is it OK for cafes to turn away mums with prams?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.

A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.

Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)

Hi
We've been checking up on where the Ministry of Education is up to with creating a plan to make sure there are enough primary school spaces for kids in and around Aotea. We know it's a growing concern for a lot families, and will continue to be so as Transmission Gully gets up and running.
We're writing an article and we'd like to include the thoughts from people in the area. So what do you think? What's the best solution here? Build more schools? Where? Tighten up zoning to stop kids from outside the area from coming over?

Do you remember the Good Neighbour Call Station?

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

We are doing an article about the old Good Neighbour Call Stations that were in homes back in 1970s... and some a bit newer :)
Did your home have one? What did you use it for? Did it ever help in a genuine emergency?
Can someone please tell us all about these things and how they worked!
