Well this is it. The jury are deliberating. I believe he is guilty but I am concerned it is going to be hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The defence pathologists were compelling, but as prosecution lawyer Alysha McClintock put to them on cross examination, you have to acknowledge that pathology evidence is just one part of the breadth of evidence. To which they agreed "of course." If he is found guilty, it will be his phone records and internet history, and his actions after Pauline's death (such as walking out of the police station after his first interview and immediately deleting hundreds of messages- which left a trace) that will be his downfall.

Thoughts?

Hi guys. I’m a young female from New Zealand and I left and extremely violent relationship earlier this year. I have finally gotten the courage to make a statement. However I did not realize that if I make one it would go to court with or without my consent. He will be arrested immediately. I want justice to be served but I don’t know if I can cope mentally with a court case.

I guess it would help perhaps knowing how this may go down if I go through with it. What is the court process? What was it like for a domestic violence case?

How do I get the courage to do this. I want him to get what he deserves but the thought of going through with all of this is making me feel very f*cked up and anxious.

How do I do this.. I know it needs to be done but I’m losing my mind here. I was under the impression that I could make a statement and then be the one to decide to press charges or not. However the police will press charges themselves and it’s out of my control.

Advice, thoughts and all welcome. I need help

Is he still out there? A free man? I hope life is difficult for him regardless.

In a greased, metal baking pan (glass doesn't crisp up the sides)

Lay down Puff Pastry

Layer of Fried Bacon cut into pieces

Thin layer of diced onions (fried in bacon grease) helps keep things moist + depth of flavour

Whole eggs, enough to cover

Then run a knife through eggs to just slightly break the yolk, then mix it just a little bit.

Whole dry baked egg yolks in B&E pies are a disgusting travesty. ^

Salt and Pepper

A drizzle of milk across the eggs to keep things moist.

Top with Pastry, cut some little vents, brush with egg or milk Add a litle leaf pattern to be fancy.

Bake til it's cooked, usually ~20-25 mins at like 180 or something.

You want a golden crust, but not too dry/overcooked inside.

Interested to hear what everyone else's Dad's B&E pie recipes are.

When I was a kid my mate's dad made B&E pie and he put heaps of cheese in the bottom and I thought that was a bit questionable.

Also, why do all bakery B&E Pies insist on a whole egg yolk. Do people actually prefer that?

Kia Ora Aotearoa, I am seeking advice before my meeting with the school principal, my son (8yrs) is a very fair Maori (dark blonde hair, blue eyes, olive skin) he has a "friend" at school lets call him Billy, Billy is from a wealthy Pākehā family that own many businesses in our small town.

This problem started small, for context Billy plays atleast 6 different sports at a time year round and he looks very skinny/trim, my son is a normal healthy weight between 25 and 30kg not in the slightest over-weight, however for the last two terms Billy has been calling my son "chunky" or he calls him a hippo, my son has started obsessing about being "chunky" and referring to himself as overweight, I talked to my son about how he is in a healthy weight range and told him not to reteleate and talk to his teacher Billy continued, I told my boy to go to the teacher everytime, it kept going on so I told my boy to tell Billy I will talk to the principal if this doesn't stop.

This escalated Billy and last week Billy told my son he can't play with them because he is Maori, I again talked to my boy this time about his identity and how he must stand strong in who he is and tried to give him the tools to be the bigger person and walk away.

Today my son has come home and told me he was playing math games in class with Billy's friend lets call her Evie, Evie was beating my boy at the game, he is a math wizz so Evie was playing on winning and started teasing my son, he used his tools, walked away and started tidying the classroom, when break time came Evie and Billy were both teasing my son about loosing the game, they wouldn't stop so my boy chased Billy, Billy then stopped turned around and slapped my son across the face leaving fingerprints on his cheek that are still visible hours later.

I am trying to raise my children to be strong individuals that understand people's words and opinions dont matter, that its better to stand tall and walk away from people that are just trying to get a reaction out of them and they aren't perfect but my boy is a sensitive, kind, loving boy that always wants to see the best in every situation.

I am disgusted that this child has elevated from body shaming to racism to physical abuse, I have emailed the school and set up a meeting with the principal and done research on the school values but this is new territory for me as a parent and I dont know how to go about this,

One part of me wants to go in there guns blazing and defend my child and the other part of me wants to come to an amicable agreement, although I fear the school will be defensive as Billy's family has deep roots within the school his nana works the reception desk, mum is a pta/board member and his father's family has attended the school for generations.

what would you do?

Please explain to me how we as a nation allow Gloriavale to get away with everything. I understand believe in your God, believe in what your culture believes in and believe in yourself and your own personal beliefs." God" wouldn't allow them to do half of what has come out? I cannot accept how NZ, our politics and Oranga Tamariki allow this cult to continue in our country. Instead they are taking our Maori, Pacifica and NZ babies away from families at birth and after without evidence of a thriving upbringing with these parents or extended family. Can someone please explain to me how these people get away with everything they are doing to these women, children babies etc. Please feel free to correct me incase I'm seeing something wrong. Sorry for my spelling mistakes Im to angry to proof read right now. Thanks.

I work as a sales reps for a large international company, based in NZ. This is the quietest business has been for at least a decade. This company has 5 reps in NZ but, I think, quite a fat band of middle management. National sales managers, regional sales managers, product range managers, it goes on. While it hasn't been talked about yet, if things don't pick up by the 2nd quarter of next year, we are probably looking at redundancies. In these bigger companies, where do they cut costs? Us front line guys or do they trim the middle management? I reckon there is more to be gained by trimming the MM, but I have a suspicion they will probably circle the wagons and throw whomever they can under the bus to save their own jobs. To anyone who has had a similar experience? Who was let go first? Thanks

I'm helping my brother look for another job and so many job ads do not put the pay rate. It's just a waste of time and a waste of time for those that apply. I immediately think the pay must be crap. He went to a job interview for one of the jobs we had applied too. They had not advertised the pay rate. He was asked what he wanted. He wanted to match what he was on at the bare minimum. He's on $34 an hour. He said after he mentioned the rate the mood changed in the room and to date he has not heard back.

He operates Excavators and other machinery and is looking to work with much larger equipment.
