Kmart's list of 31 recalls

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

Traffic lights at northern gateway to be switched on

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

The traffic lights at the intersection of Norman Smith Street and Wairakei Drive are set to go live about 2pm on Monday following the redevelopment of the intersection and northern gateway into Taupō.

The introduction of traffic lights marks the final milestone in the five phase project that has seen safety improvements introduced to the area over the last three months.

While residents and road users may be familiar with the general layout of the intersection, Project Manager Ian Gray said caution needed to be taken when using it as the last of the required line marking work would be done on Monday ahead of the traffic lights going live. Normal road rules applied, and digital screens on the approaches would alert motorists the traffic lights had been turned on.

“We encourage everyone to take their time using the lights and be aware of others while we all get used to the new system,” he said. “The traffic lights going live mark the end of the work and should help motorists navigate the intersection more easily and quickly. Although we do not expect the improvements to relieve all congestion issues, particularly during busy holiday and event periods, we know they will make a positive difference to travel times, particularly for Nukuhau and Acacia Bay residents travelling into Taupō town centre.”

Poll: Should NZ schools have gender-neutral uniforms?

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

A new law in Wales says schools are required to have gender-neutral uniforms.

This means that while uniforms can include both skirts and pants, schools can't label these as "girls" or "boys" items.

Should NZ follow suit?
