After their relationship ended, they turned to the Family Court to determine how the property, which was jointly owned, should be divided. The Family Court said it did not have jurisdiction, as did the High Court. That means the case will be sent back to the Family Court. In November 2017, Lilach Paul separated from her husband and Mead, and the following year Brett Paul and Mead separated. Justice France and Justice Glazebrook, however, considered the High Court was correct that the Family Court had no jurisdiction.

PHOTO: NZ HERALDPolitical power is often temporary and illusory. It is apparent the pharaoh had exercised huge power and authority in his lifetime, but what Shelley viewed was but a shadow of that former glory. The poem ends:"And on the pedestal these words appear:My name is Ozymandius, king of kings:Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Unlike Ozymandius, they were not motivated by power or vanity. Temporary though political power is, if properly applied, all the citizens of the nation should be able to flourish.

Auckland surgeons must now consider ethnicity in prioritising patients for operations – some are not happyAuckland surgeons are now being required to consider a patient’s ethnicity alongside other factors when deciding who should get an operation first. We don’t just need more drs and nurses, we need new hospitals, we need new technology, we need new drugs, we need our own basic pharmaceutical industry. What this inclusion of ethnicity as a determinant truly represents is an under-funded public health system forced into making this brutal equation because of grotesque and systemic underfunding. This is a symptom of an underfunded health system using blunt tools like ethnicity to attempt more equitable outcomes. It is an ugly treatment to a much more malicious disease, which is the underfunding of the public health system by starving the State of tax revenue from the wealthiest amongst us.

Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing thousands of dollars debited from your account mysteriously. Well, something similar happened to credit card users across New Zealand recently that too at a time when the country has fallen into recession.
