Then, when the All Blacks joined them after their time off, it was about getting them to understand the changes. He said by the time they went to Japan for their preseason games, what he wanted was taking shape, and it grew from there. Cotter said Tuipulotu, playing two weeks after he was expected to be out of action with a medial ligament injury, was inspirational. "This is part of the team that's been so pleasing, it's been everybody pitching in, doing what they can to achieve the objective we started with at the beginning of the season. "That's been a good growth for this team; keep things simple, and when things are simple we know what we're doing and can do that to the best of our abilities.

Wellington Pride Festival (WPF) board co-chair Tasmin Prichard said they chose not to allow the stand after the community alerted them to Lesbian Action for Visibility Aotearoa’s (Lava) anti-trans views.

Photo / APChinese call it “runxue” or “run-ology” — the study of escaping China and taking your wealth with you. The word became popular inside China in 2022, when Beijing’s draconian Covid lockdown incited people to dream of a life abroad. An estimated 15,200 Chinese millionaires are predicted to emigrate this year, up from 13,800 who actually left China last year, Henley & Partners said. Preferred destinations in a world riven by conflict should be safe, so geographically remote places such as New Zealand and Australia are sometimes favoured. But even after such obstacles to migration have been overcome, wealthy Chinese can find life overseas brings a whole new set of unfamiliarities.

Photo: 123rfJob-seekers say it is not uncommon to be facing off with hundreds of applicants in the current market, and some employers are deploying Hunger Games-style tactics to weed out winners. RNZ reported on Friday the number of job applicants per advertisement is almost three times as high as it was in 2019. One applicant, Natalie, said even jobs that were not likely to be "dream" roles for anyone had 150 to 300 applicants each time. "It's troubling to find out that my internal experience has invalidated me from consideration, and I am concerned that the recent redundancies and competitive job market will primarily impact primary carers." The problem is job shedding is occurring at the same time, so the market can't absorb redundant workers.

The drop of support for this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government is unprecedented inside the MMP political timeframe. If an example of unkindness could get to the media, that Department rushed to solve the issue because they knew Jacinda expected kindness. The first stand Jacinda made was dumping private spy company Thompson and Thompson from having anything to do with the State. Welfare punishment, state housing punishment, IRD actions, sentences, debt issues – every Department of the State was expected to be kind and they were. A Jacinda Kindness Feedback shockwave.

The Tour: The Story of the England Cricket Team Overseas 1877-2022 chronicles the triumphs, tragedies and transgressions of teams that have toured the world. With a trip to Pakistan following the New Zealand tour, Wilde wrote in The Tour: “With Pakistan known to offer little in terms of Western-style nightlife, the team made the most of New Zealand”. Former England cricket captain Mike Atherton - seen here relaxing on tour in New Zealand - once found a dead shark on his bed while touring here. Wilde’s book has lifted the lids on plenty of shenanigans and scandals involving England’s national cricket team around the world. The view down to Ōtira Gorge - in the middle of the Southern Alps - where an England cricket tour almost ended in tragedy.

A Boeing plane full of passengers was forced to U-turn just three hours into an 11-hour flight after its windscreen suddenly cracked. Virgin Flight VS41 was on its way to San Francisco on May 23 when the central windscreen on the Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 unexpectedly shattered. The plane, which had taken off from Heathrow just three hours earlier, was cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet, leaving cabin staff in shock. However, they ruled out the possibility of explosive decompression, which would have resulted in anything not secured to the cabin's interior being sucked out into the -50C atmosphere outside, and the flight was diverted. Pilots were compelled to return to the UK, where airport investigators were baffled to find what appeared to be dents on the four-layer-thick glass.

Red, White and Brass cast on what to expect from the new stage play at Auckland’s ASB Waterfront Theatre. Video / Janelle EatonAll Whites midfielder Marko Stamenic has finalised a deal that will take him to English Premier League’s Nottingham Forest. The Greek giants, Olympiacos, who are regulars in the Uefa Champions League, are also owned by billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, who accquired Nottingham Forest in 2017.

They were announced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon with much fanfare in April. Labour leader Chris Hipkins told Morning Report he backed replacing the planes and as prime minister had asked his defence minister to look into it. Stuff’s Tova O’Brien revealed former defence minister Andrew Little had wanted to put an end to it. The prime minister and Kishida struck an intel-sharing deal which would see the two countries sharing more intelligence. “The prime minister’s trade mission to Japan’s been pretty successful but who would have noticed?” he said in an article published by the Herald.
