'This can has been kicked down the road too many times'. Green MP Chloe Swarbrick represents Auckland Central and wants to know why the government still has not brought the Waiheke ferry service into the public transport model - meaning cheaper fares for punters.

All other public transport is subsidised - but Fullers has a carve out to run on a purely commercial basis to Waiheke. MP Chloe Swarbrick talks to Lisa Owen.

An independent investigation subsequently found McColl had mistreated athletes..including failing to adequately manage injuries. It also found evidence of harassment, inappropriate communicaton through social media and text, including inapproprate sexual references, aggravated by the fact a number of the sports people were minors.

A trip to the supermarket might seem like a shortcut to raised blood pressure with the cost of living crisis, but jokes aside it could actually be a life saver. As part of a UK study, electrocardiograms or ECG sensors were installed in the handles of supermarket trolleys to screen adults for abnormal heart while they shopped. The trial at four Sainsbury stores over three months screened more than 2000 adults by getting them to hold the trolley handle for at least minute. It then flagged people with irregular heat rhythms that could put them at risk of strokes for follow-ups. Professor Ian Jones of Liverpool John Moores University, is one of the study authors.
