NZ Herald reporter: The jury has to determine whether Dickason intended murder
The opening day's ended in the trial of the mother who allegedly murdered her three young daughters in Timaru. South African born Lauren Dickason pleaded not guilty to killing her six-year-old daughter and two-year-old twins in September 2021. The 41-year-old admits killing the children, but is mounting a defence of insanity. NZ Herald senior reporter Anna Leask says the jury has to decide whether Dickason intended to kill them. Defence lawyer Kerryn Beaton told the court Dickason was a loving mother who went through 17 rounds of IVF.

Nats to allow students to use KiwiSaver for bond
The party’s youth wing, the Young Nats, suggested the policy, Luxon said. Students aged under 30 would be eligible to use money from their KiwiSaver for up to five years. "This reflects the fact that we want young people joining KiwiSaver early and staying in for the long haul," Bishop said. Bishop said students will be able to transfer bond payments from their KiwiSaver accounts directly to Tenancy Services. "Young people have told me they’d like to have the option of using their KiwiSaver savings to sort their bond payments, and that this policy will make a difference."

In it for you (as long as ‘you’ are a property speculator, Banks or mega wealthy’)
Chippy has launched Labour’s slogan, ‘In it for you’, which is only true if the ‘you’ is a property speculator, Bank or the mega wealthy’. Ginny Anderson claims Chippy ‘read the room ‘, oh really Ginny, and what fucking room was that love? Let’s remind ourselves what we could have gained hereThe beauty of all this is that Chippy’s call will hold the timid middle while empowering The Māori Party. A Labour/Green minority Government with supply and confidence from the Māori Party is still the win I’m expecting post election. John Tamihere’s Māori Party is the only hope for the poorest Kiwis.

Blind Low Vision NZ launches eye-catching campaign for low vision people via YoungShand
Blind Low Vision NZ, formerly the Blind Foundation, has launched a new, literally eye-catching awareness campaign to encourage over 155,000 New Zealanders with severe sight difficulties to “See a Way,” via YoungShand. Studies have shown that Kiwis think Blind Low Vision NZ is only for the almost or fully blind, and are waiting too long to ask for help to the point that they hit a crisis. Striking digital outdoor, bus sides, adshels and VOD executions also reflect the effect of seeing with assistance like that provided by Blind Low Vision NZ. Corey Chalmers, ECD, YoungShand says: “The irony of Blind Low Vision NZ lacking visibility among New Zealand’s 28,000-odd charitable organisations wasn’t lost on us. We’re thrilled that the NZ Herald really embraced the idea of reformatting their print edition’s actual editorial – and it turned out brilliantly.”Gwen Green, GM Engagement & Marketing, Blind Low Vision NZ says: “Blind Low Vision NZ is all about supporting those who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision to keep their independence.

Time for Government to practise what it preaches
And, in particular, plastic carpet tiles which are being rolled out in classrooms throughout the country. For it is time that we start talking about synthetic carpet for exactly what it is. "That’s a compelling reason to use sustainable wool wherever we can to make healthy homes for Kiwis and the world," he penned. The plastic tiles, which are recyclable, might well be more cost-effective than New Zealand wool tiles or carpet, but the two products cannot be compared solely on a cost basis. What about our sheep farmers who produce 100,00 tonnes of strong wool a year which could be used for carpet?

You are almost definitely not using your freezer to its full potential. Here’s how to fix that. Take a peek into my freezer and you’d probably think it was laughable that someone with an appliance in such a state was dispensing advice on the best ways to use one.

Populist tax policy is sleepwalking New Zealand into fiscal trouble
There was good news this week for those who don’t like paying tax: one political party ruled out not just a capital gains tax, but all taxes. Income tax, corporate tax, goods and services tax, road user charges… you name it, it's gone. Examples include the Act Party’s proposed referendum to redefine treaty principles, the Maori Party’s plan to establish a separate parliament, and now the Green Party’s wealth tax. A wealth tax is not a particularly outlandish idea compared to the other two examples cited above, both of which would be significant constitutional reforms. Farmers, and the rural communities that surround them, are another important demographic that hates the idea of wealth, capital, or land taxes.

MEDIAWATCH: Paula Bennett is a high ranking fundraiser for National – NZ Herald’s use of her as a columnist is nothing more than propaganda
Paula Bennett: National’s Christopher Luxon has the attributes of a leaderHe has an extraordinary work ethic. Paula Bennett on the other hand is a despicable human being who threw state tenets out onto the street using a flawed meth testing regime. She was told numerous times this was flawed, she was told numerous times she was misreading her own Ministries standards but she didn’t give a fuck. It’s always annoyed me that Paula Bennett isn’t egged whenever she appears in public. Paula is a high ranking fundraiser for National and Bayleys Real Estate have donated $200 000.
