Leather jacket

Peter from Kamo

Danish made leather jacket, suede on the outside, wool inside. My wife says it's size 10-12. Used to be my late mother's. It is *very* warm.

Danish made leather jacket, suede on the outside, wool inside. My wife says it's size 10-12. Used to be my late mother's. It is *very* warm.

Very good condition, it's probably only been worn on a handful of occasions.

Since she kept it in a wardrobe together with bars of soap, it's got a perfumed smell to it.


Thinking $50. (tried the 'show the price' option, but it will only display "negotiable" ...)

I spoke with council today about spotting a wild boar in my front yard on Riverside drive.

My Address is on Riverside Drive near the marina, the wild boar was in my front yard it ran into bush behind Riverside Drive I have had a look at a satellite image, the bush goes right through to Whangarei Falls.

I am attaching a photo which is identical to what I saw and chased with the mobility scooter. I have a 35kg dog.

To explain the size of the wild boar it was a bit shorter than my dog but stocker I would estimate is to be between 35 - 40 kg.

When I went after it I was thinking domestic pig, not wild boar so I will not chase any more.

100% this was a wild boar, about the size in the photo, and living in Paraheka bush

Sound sleep is essential, as your body repairs the worn out tissues while you are sleeping in a comfortable position. Just like a phone's battery is charged with a charger, so is your body refreshed with a comfortable sleep of 7 to 8 hours.   If you cannot get a sound sleep of approximately 8 hours, you will not be able to give your complete effort at work as your body will be fatigued from the previous day.

Poll: Do you agree with the new firearm rules in schools?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Students are no longer able to hold or shoot army guns at school under new government guidelines. The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles … View moreStudents are no longer able to hold or shoot army guns at school under new government guidelines. The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?

Uphold the UN recommendation that there is a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the NZ Family Court.


In our last update we let you know that the CEDAW recommendations to the New Zealand Government were made public on 20th July and included;

A Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Family Court
Reinstating the Bristol Clauses into the Care of Children Act
Avoiding the use of parental alienation in child custody proceedings
Using risk assessments in child custody proceedings
Stopping the use of mediation and joint court facilitated interventions when there are violence and abuse allegations

The very same day, Andrew Little stated in the media there would be NO Royal Commission and his review of the 2014 Family Court reforms was going ahead.

We were shocked that he could unilaterally make this decision without appearing to consult with cabinet.

Please sign and share the Backbone members' petition - let's show the Government that they can't just dismiss the United Nations or women as easily as that.


The more people are behind an issue - the more likely it is that decision makers will pay attention. Each name that is added to a campaign takes it one step closer to succeeding.Can you help spread the word about the campaign by sharing it with your friends and family?

Dear friends,

I just signed the campaign: Uphold the UN recommendation that there is a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the NZ Family Court

It would mean a lot to me if you could also add your name to this important issue. Every name that is added builds momentum around the campaign and makes it more likely for us to get the change we want to see.

Will you join me by taking action on this campaign?
