Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Phone Scam

Just a warning as we received an automated phone message this morning purportedly from Spark stating that our internet was compromised and to "press 1" to speak with a technician.

Just a warning as we received an automated phone message this morning purportedly from Spark stating that our internet was compromised and to "press 1" to speak with a technician.

This is a scam (have reported to Spark and Netsafe), which many will realise, but it does sound official so thought it worth putting out a warning to keep our neighbourhoods safe. Together we are stronger!

How the world's most beautiful tassels are made

For 91 years, this family-run company has been creating intricate tie-backs and tassels, with the fourth generation now presiding over a business that strikes a fine balance between tradition and modernity.


The rhythmic clickety-clack of 40 weaving machines swells as the doors open at Les Passementeries de l'île de France. They clatter and clash until the clock strikes 12 when, as if by magic, silence falls as the workers break for lunch. Throughout the day, 2,000 metres of braid and fringe pour from the looms in reams of kaleidoscopic colour, while tassels are twisted, pom-poms are fluffed and flowers are knotted by hand.

The tradition of passementerie in the village of Belloy-en-France, north of Paris, dates back to the nineteenth century, but since the Fifties, in France alone, more than 200 passementiers have closed their doors permanently or relocated to Tunisia and China, where both labour and rental prices are tantalisingly cheap. Les Passementeries de l'île de France is one of the last workshops still operating in the country today.
