Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

How are you affected by the teachers' strike?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

What do you think about the teachers' strike? Thousands of Canterbury primary school teachers and principals are striking across the region today.

About 143 primary schools have closed, affecting around 50,000 school children. It's the third in a series of rolling strikes, and even bigger strikes including both primary and secondary school teachers haven't been ruled out yet.

Teachers say the strike action is calling for better pay and working conditions, more learning support, including for children with special needs, and smaller class sizes.

So, do you support the strike action? Or do you think they should have accepted the previous offer? Are you a striking teacher? Or a parent that's been affected by the strike action? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

Women: you can totally nail trades

Ara Institute of Canterbury

If you like working with your hands, don’t let outdated stereotypes put you off a rewarding career in trades. Women enjoy just as much success and job satisfaction as their male colleagues and sometimes leave the guys in their wake.

If you like working with your hands, don’t let outdated stereotypes put you off a rewarding career in trades. Women enjoy just as much success and job satisfaction as their male colleagues and sometimes leave the guys in their wake.

A great example is Pasifika student Tepora Rokotavo who did a pre-trade course in electrical studies with us at Ara Institute of Canterbury. Tepora achieved 93% in her final exams – an outstanding result – and is now on her way to becoming a qualified electrician. We love helping female students into trades careers.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, explore your options here.

This IS overcharging - $2000 or $2500 PLUS 'disbursements' - for straight-forward probate? No....

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

Someone elsewhere in New Zealand (whose identity or locality I shall not disclose) told me of two law firms who quoted $2000 and $2500 respectively, plus disbursements, for an application for probate.

Someone elsewhere in New Zealand (whose identity or locality I shall not disclose) told me of two law firms who quoted $2000 and $2500 respectively, plus disbursements, for an application for probate.

I can confirm that there was nothing complicated about the application. It fell easily within my standard application service for $400.

That is price gouging. There is no basis for it. None. (And yes, you may quote me.)
