A baby boy will only live for a few months without a $100,000 medication that is not funded in New Zealand.

Kaan Hunter was diagnosed with an extremely rare and fatal bone condition, infantile hypophosphatasia, shortly after his birth. Without the medication, Kaan's life expectancy is only four to six months. He is the only one in NZ with this condition.

"Doctors have put in an application to Pharmac to see if he will get accepted, but it's so much money and they said 'don't hold your breath'," the Bay of Plenty mum said.

A Givealittle page has been set up to help buy Kaan some time.

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?

When it comes to a night out with friends, socialising usually revolves around alcohol, and with Dry July happening this month, it can be hard to find alcohol-free spaces.

"Having fun and drinking alcohol is an illusion," said Cortez McDaniel, who is recovering from alcohol and drug abuse disorders. "We have to stop believing the lie, and then we have to start practicing something different."

Do you agree with this comment? Do you struggle to sober up with limited alcohol-free social spaces?
