The 2.75-metre great white Daisy has shown up again after going missing for a month. Rare conservation research has revealed the secret lives of great white sharks - live-tracking one on a more than 1000km round trip around the upper North Island. “A recent Niwa report shows 53 great white sharks were caught and killed in commercial fishing [over the past decade] - and that’s just what’s reported,” he said. Great white sharks are visual predators - they prefer to be in water where they can see their prey [food]. [They eat] kahawai at the surface, whereas stingrays or school sharks [great white prey] are bottom-dwelling.

A mum has been left gobsmacked after her daughter wrote a cheeky note back after she was given a “healthy” lunchbox for school. The Melbourne mum explained her primary school-aged daughter was refusing to eat the healthy items in her lunchbox for school every day. So instead of giving in, the mum replaced the special treats she would provide and swapped them for more healthy food until she learned her lesson. But when the mum opened the lunchbox it contained another item - a scathing note from her daughter. “This week after seeing yet another lunch box come home with all the healthy stuff untouched, I made good on my threat to only pack healthy stuff and no treats unless the healthy stuff was eaten,” the woman explained.

Women directly affected by the terror attacks have turned photographs of lost loved ones into artworks which are now being made into a powerful new exhibition.

Dr Kiran Munir, who lost her husband in the terror attack, took part in the Finding Peace workshops.

The target is for 95 percent of patients to be seen in less than six hours. The latest ED wait time statistics have been released after criticism over the accuracy of previous metrics. The only regions that fared worse in December were Wellington's Capital & Coast, where 47 percent of ED patients had to wait more than six hours, and MidCentral at 52 percent. Former Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand chairperson Rob Campbell said last month that workforce shortages plaguing Middlemore's ED would not be addressed in time for the winter flu season.

‘They’re not hiding behind anything’All Medicine NZ member companies committed to a voluntary reporting scheme, Mr Jarvis says, although some had nothing to declare, and one was undertaking a global IT restructure that prevented it from reporting in the 2021 year. The reports are “hugely transparent”, he says. “The doctor’s name’s there, the practice is there, how much money’s there and for what, and there’s no dollar limit…there’s no aggregation of data, it is what it is.”He says the level of transparency safeguards against allegations that doctors and medical staff are unduly influenced by the pharmaceutical companies. “They’re not hiding behind anything, this is very clear now, you can’t get more transparent than the reports as they are. I’d be very perturbed if people took the wrong end of the stick from that.”

Labour’s shift in focus is working. Now under Prime Minister Chris Hipkins Labour has a laser-like focus directed at the working class politics of places like West Auckland and the Hutt Valley. And potentially allows the Greens to take up more of Labour’s vote, while Labour wins back working class support from National. It drives me nuts.” Likewise, Chlöe Swarbrick said that Labour’s dropping the alcohol sponsorship reform was an “absolute slap in the face”. Writing today for Newsroom, political editor Jo Moir is scathing, saying “Labour has overtaken National as the party of doing nothing.
