Regularly inspecting your electronic devices for any signs of damage and replacing or repairing them promptly is vital. The Dangers of Using Electronic Devices in the BathUsing electronic devices in the bath may seem convenient, but it poses serious risks that should not be ignored. The most significant risk of using electronic devices in the bath is the potential for electrocution. It’s important to remember that the risks associated with using electronic devices in the bath extend beyond just smartphones and tablets. First and foremost, never bring any electronic devices into the bathroom while taking a bath or shower.

The leaders of the National, Act, and NZ First parties have signed on the dotted line, agreeing to form the first three-party coalition in New Zealand’s MMP era. Detailed coalition agreements struck between National and each of the other parties outline policy commitments and compromises that will be supported by all three partners. Prime Minister-designate Christopher Luxon made it clear during the election campaign that his preference was for a two-party coalition with the Act Party. Similarly, National, Act, and NZ First have formed an alliance to push back on, what they see as, high levels of government spending, heavy-handed regulation, and eroding social values. Act like itWhile obvious concessions were made to NZ First during the negotiations, the Act Party also secured a number of its key priorities.

The new three party coalition government will feature Winston Peters as Deputy Prime Minister for the first-half of its three-year term, and David Seymour for the second half. The NZ First leader will also be Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the ACT Party leader Minister for Regulation. The 20-member Cabinet will have 14 National Ministers, three ACT Ministers and three NZ First Ministers. National Party Deputy Leader Nicola Willis will be Minister of Finance, ACT's Brooke van Velden will be Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety, and Shane Jones will be Minister for Regional Development. Other roles include Chris Bishop as Minister of Housing, Minister for Infrastructure, and Minister Responsible for RMA Reform, Shane Reti Minister of Health, Simeon Brown Minister for Energy, Minister for Transport and Minister of Local Government, Erica Stanford Minister of Education and Minister of Immigration, Paul Goldsmith Minister of Justice, Minister for State Owned Enterprises and Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, Judith Collins Attorney General, Minister of Defence and Minister for Digitising Government, Todd McClay Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Forestry, Simon Watts Minister of Climate Change and Minister of Revenue outside Cabinet, and Andrew Bayly Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing and Minister of Statistics, also outside Cabinet.

Mr Luxon signed two independent documents, comprising Confidence and Supply Agreement with ACT Leader David Seymour and New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters. As a part of the coalition agreement, Mr Luxon had to concede his proposal to tax foreign buyers purchasing properties in New Zealand. Mr Luxon said that all three parties have accepted ACT’s policy to speed up the rate at which interest deductibility for rental properties is restored. The parties promised to ‘restore law and order’ during their campaign and Mr Luxon addressed this issue during his speech. The parties have agreed to adopt ACT’s policies to reintroduce partnership schools and to allow state schools to become partnership schools,” Mr Luxon said.

“And there’ll be no shortage of ‘events’ to test Luxon’s political skills. David Seymour wants a referendum on the Treaty. Winston wants a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Labour’s handling of the Covid crisis. Talk about cans of worms!”were very fond of their local. It was nothing ...

Winston Peters and David Seymour will share the role of Deputy Prime Minister for the first time in New Zealand’s political history. In a highly unorthodox arrangement, Peters, 78, will take the deputy role for the next 18 months. He will then be replaced by 40-year-old Seymour, the leader of Act, for the second half of the coalition government’s three-year term. The New Zealand First leader has also snared the coveted role of Foreign Affairs Minister – a role Peters has filled in previous administrations.

This Week in Greater AucklandCatch PT to MallsFollowing the issues at Newmarket last week, Auckland Transport are asking people to use PT instead. Phase two will be a small network of shared escooters, bikes, and powered bike parking within three minutes walk of the station. More info at Bike Auckland and this story from Healthy Families Waitakere. Auckland Transport hasn’t updated its cycle counts since June – and our bike counters are mostly on commute routes, which means we lack crucial data on neighbourhood cycling.

An "enraged" driver who rear-ended a dawdling motorist has been spoken to by police. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police responded to a car crash on the Caversham bypass at 7.30am yesterday. A 33-year-old man was driving behind another vehicle and had "become enraged about the other driver’s low speed", Snr Sgt Bond said. The man drove into the back of the car in front before driving away. An investigation was still ongoing and police were still to speak with the driver of the other vehicle, Snr Sgt Bond said.

Winston Peters and David Seymour will rotate in the Deputy Prime Minister role in an unorthodox coalition Government stitched together by incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. Peters bristled at the suggestion he was “sharing” the role with Seymour as the new Cabinet was unveiled today. The NZ First leader will be Deputy PM for the next 18 months before surrendering the position to Act’s Seymour on May 31, 2025. Peters has also secured the coveted role of Foreign Affairs Minister – a job he has filled in previous administrations. Seymour said he was unaware of what ministerial portfolios both National and NZ First had been allocated.

Lynne Martin, 63, was found dead in the cells at the Gisborne Police Station on Thursday morning, Stuff understands. She was being held there before being transferred to prison, after a jury on Wednesday afternoon found her guilty of murdering her father, Ronald Allison. At the time of her father's death, Martin was "flat broke", and an undischarged bankrupt with just $119 to her name, and she knew she would get $150,000 from her father's will, Manning said. "That phone call, sadly, seems to be all it took to set her off on a chain of events that led to her father's death," he said. It wasn't a "remarkable coincidence" that these strands of evidence pointed to Martin being the killer, he said.
