Pensioners who travelled overseas, presumably knowing the government warnings about getting trapped overseas, now being stung with fines/repayment of pensions, as they have been out of the country too long...

I'm of two minds about this one...
On the one hand, they knew the risks and conditions of pension payments etc before leaving...
On the other, well covid has fucked up a lot of stuff for everyone... Is this "being kind"?

Yuk!
What are people doing in their cars?

You know that when someone as left leaning as Campbell comes out with such cutting criticism as this you are in trouble.  Williams had no answers to his questions.

Would love to see him ask similar hard questions of Ardern.

or is she some right wing ringer come lately with an axe to grind?

her accusations are succinct and her questions blunt.
as an outsider im loath to judge just yet. 
best wait until i see how she peels a banana.
she doesnt say where she was prior to here, just 'overseas'
somewhere with a pretty good press agency i guess.

Everyone around here gives their lawn a No1 with the catcher...and tosses the clippings in the park, around trees. My lawn is always thick, never use a catcher, I wait until it's a struggle to give it a trim. Maybe I should wait longer....

There is all sorts of things in my lawn, and it's interesting to see them come and go...come and go. Only thing I have a mission on is Cape Daisies, they will spread if you let them. I need new Crocs - the Onehunga Weed goes right through them.

Came across this earlier.

There's quite a variety of them, no idea as to quality though but they might be worth looking into. If they could be a solution then that would make a huge difference to many homeless people here.
