Wing Mark Telea has been dropped from the side for the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal, for apparently missing team curfew.

Many projects had their schedules pushed back while a settlement was awaited. So now is the perfect time to catch up on a few gems you may have missed among the non-stop barrage of content over the past several years. There are many great workplace comedies, including The Office (UK and US versions), Parks and Recreation, Superstore (all available on TVNZ+). But what about a workplace comedy that isn’t about the people working, but the absurdity of the work itself?

His adult victims described an ongoing inability to trust friendly older men or wear skirts in public. Judge Maxwell later addressed the parents and victims directly, noting that some of them still seem to blame themselves.

Voter turnout is well down on the 2020 election so far. Photo: NZ HeraldA “big plunge” in early voting reflects a negative campaign that failed to inspire voters and caused some to turn away from politics “in disgust”, a political analyst says. “More likely, it just shows that fewer voters are going to turn out this time around.”Dr Bryce Edwards. “The rise of battles over ethnicity and race in particular has probably turned a lot of people off politics.”He said he believed people, especially young people, were “turning away from politics in disgust”.

By Liam Napier in ParisAll Blacks wing Mark Telea will miss this weekend’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final with Ireland after being stood down for disciplinary reasons. The Blues wing has claimed three tries in two World Cup appearances - two against France, one where he beat multiple defenders to finish against Italy. It was nothing major but enough to keep him out of selection this week,” All Blacks coach Ian Foster said. Roigard is a surprising exclusion after impressing at this World Cup but, unlike Telea, Foster said the deputy halfback role was a selection decision. “World Cup quarter-finals are so exciting for many reasons, and we know the pressure they bring.

The Rugby World Cup enters the knockout stages this weekend with some enticing match-ups in store, but Namibia’s Welwitschias have already returned home after their campaign ended in familiar fashion. Those defeats against Tier One rugby nations may have been expected, but their defeat against fellow Tier Two nation, Uruguay, was a bitter pill to swallow. “We were not invited to the world cup, we qualified through Africa, so we deserved to be there. “Namibia was denied one of its best chances to break what is now a 26-match Rugby World Cup duck … it has taken the edge off what could have been the most interesting Rugby World Cup ever staged,” it said. I would say the great nations need to make money and to fill the stadium,” he said.

The New Zealand property market is showing promising signs of recovery, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Institute (REINZ). Despite a 3.3% annual decrease in nationwide residential property values, sales counts have increased and properties are selling at a faster rate.

REINZ CEO Jen Baird expressed confidence in the market, with signs of an upward trend and growing activity from both buyers and sellers.

An Auckland nurse has been suspended for 12 months and censured for spreading misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination, including comments that people vaccinated against the virus were “not 100 per cent human.” The nurse, Sarai Iva Tepou, made these claims during a radio interview in which she discussed the vaccine roll-out and its purported effects on DNA and natural immunity. The Health Practitioners and Disciplinary Tribunal found that Tepou’s actions constituted professional misconduct and were aimed at discouraging vaccination against Covid-19. The tribunal’s decision highlights the importance of accurate and evidence-based information regarding Covid-19 vaccination. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to uphold their ethical responsibility to provide accurate information and promote public health.
