Free school lunches - A fantastic or flawed idea?

Hi neighbours - thousands of school kids will get a free lunch at school, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

Ardern says "children themselves told us during the consultation on the strategy that going to school hungry was a barrier to their learning."

Education spokeswoman Nikki Kaye says the Government hasn't considered that most schools don't have infrastructure for large scale food preparation and storage. She says "this would cost hundreds of millions and take away the autonomy of parents to provide lunch for their children".

What are your thoughts? Do you think this is a fantastic or flawed idea? Would you prefer that schools prepared your child's lunch?

Should there be more legislation in place for short term rentals?

Hi neighbours - families are being squeezed out of the rental market due to property owners renting out their homes for up to 100 nights per year before they need to pay business rates.

This results in a spike in short term rentals in suburban areas, and it's leading to rent increases across the board. There have also been complaints from residents who live among these homes, with one describing it as "three years of hell" due to excessive drinking and partying from guests.

Have you experienced anything like this? Should there be more legislation in place for short term rentals?
