NZ Music, indie Music, in fact always looking for new sounds. For others seeking new sounds, I'll try to post a NZ music track that I like each day. Also a nice classic car brings a smile.

I'm not for this hysterical type of reaction to a shark attack. After all, if you get into a shark's lunch box, surely you accept there is a risk it could be lunch time. It is a tragedy, however the shark was just being a shark in it's own environment www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

Minister orders shark to be destroyed as family shares grief over Perth swimmer’s death

Greg O’Neill was swimming “very close to shore” when he was witnessed being pulled underwater by a large white shark at approximately 10.30am on Friday.

How could the Council be "satisfied with the decision made in respect to this matter" It abominable how Councils and their overzealous parking wardens issue tickets, and then refuse to listen to reason. This case needs to go further as it's certainly not right. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchu...

Man takes car for WoF so he can get it registered – and gets ticket for being unregistered

Vehicles must pass a warrant of fitness before they can be registered.

And the slippery slope continues with NZF www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

‘Huge appetite’ for new limits on standing for Parliament, says Shane Jones

Under current law, any New Zealand citizen who is old enough to vote can stand as a candidate. Jones has said NZ First will campaign to change this.

Winston Peters is sounding dangerously like Trump. He's gone a bit wonky on the whole Covid response and a little overt racism as well, but this is kinda scary www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

'Turn that thing off': Peters terminates interview after just 96 seconds

Winston Peters had told a Stuff journalist to “piss off” after they asked questions about other instances of violent rhetoric and behaviour toward MPs.
