Te Huia terminated at The Strand station, not Parnell station. But in any case it was more logical to get off at Papakura or Puhinui and just take the next train direct to Britomart (or Newmarket or anywhere else).
And now need to purchase a hop card if commuter's to use AK train/bus network,
Lets see how long NZ bus drivers keep their jobs,not collecting fares next 3 days,be regarded as theft me thinks.
Just go back to the good ole days of Ara buses?

Next week. Commuters need to find their own way from Papakura to CBD

There are plenty of examples of regulator intervention across the business and govt sectors.
I've no idea why KiwiRail has had this current problem which appears to be human error.
And the joke?? They're going to put buses on from papakura but the drivers are on strike.

The Te Huia Train has ran a red light twice in a month, so NZTA / Waka Koathanger has now banned it from Auckland.
No the train didnt run the light,. For the train to run the light suggests its automatic so then the fault would be with computor system but thats not the case. The driver did,why did he/she run the light and does he /she still have their employment is the question?
Have been thinking about White Island,active volcano and that is a risk you take?
Metservice gives bum forecast and you have a diaster,can you then sue metservice? All based on computor modelling but White Island monitored by Geonet so are they answerable to the diaster?

Caulerpa is classic, as far as i can tell there is no know method of eradication and with the sheer area of the coastline to monitor, its effectively impossible.
Why would a simple style gold suction dredge not work?? Bring ashore and dump it rather than what we are told,put it back,treat it like didimo?

That does not sound like an H&S issue, its sounds like bad management practices that places employees at risk. Lets put this another way how would the workplace be without H&S culture?
H&S is required but some the ideas are impractical. Working in a Sheetmetal shop late 70s,the Labour inspector turned up and explained how a guard was required on the pressbrake machine,was pointed out once foot off pedal machine stopped,But we put the guard on as per instructions,the labour man came back to inspect,was then shown certain operations couldnt take place with guard on,thats when he walked away and never returned.

Like the idea of suction dredge.

H&S is a complete joke, we have monthly H&S meetings at work, resolutions reached but not followed. A lot of policies are detrimental to the business. Just get the job done. We recently had a work accident out on the road at a customers site. The person involved should of been instantly sacked but because we were short of staff. The employee involved(newbie)wasn't time(apparently to sign them off)had the incident and company wearing the cost due to failure on side of the company.
A few yrs a go a person was killed on our site. Due to being in a hurry ,opened dock door to see what was taking driver so long to reverse on too dock, at the same time vehicle lurched back and squashed trainers head. If the trainer was doing his job properly would of been outside guiding trainee on to dock, completely preventable. No prosecutions,

Divers found small 20 centimetre to 30 centimetre patches of the seaweed in the North Channel,
The question is,why did they dive there,very strong currents. Did someone report it as found on anchor??
-
fair enough but surely there must be some resposibilty on seller/broker to inform me that there are rules/regulations I need to know before venturing to sea?
-
as a veseel owner,should I need to find out rules/regulations before leaving mooring/ramp/marina or should a governing body display rules regulation in prominent positions?
Currently no licence/rego requierd so why should I know the rules??
It is your responsibility to know and understand the rules before heading out.

Looks like divers have now found small, 20cm to 30cm patches of the underwater plant growing in the Hauraki Gulf near Kawau Island.
Will we get an anchor ban around or near Kawau?
suspect if they look hard enough the gulf will be a mat in several direction from the barrier,tides stop for no man

Been watching "channel patrol" on prime tv,talk about congestion but no real danger,why?? because they have proper harbour patrol with real harbour masters doing their job and a coastguard watching radar etc ashore,their lifeboat crews would be equivalent to our coastguard and their coastguard would be what our maritime police should be doing.

No mention of stopping Customary rights?

Proposed temporary fisheries closure of Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island) and nearby islands
Tēnā koe,
The Motairehe Marae Trust, supported by iwi trust board Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai ki Aotea, has requested a temporary closure to the harvest of scallops, pāua, and rock lobster, from the fisheries waters within 3 nautical miles of:- Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island)
- Little Barrier Island (Te Hauturu-o-Toi)
- the Mokohinau Islands
- Simpson Rock and Horn Rock.
The request is for a 2-year closure.
After the request was made, the Northland Scallop Fishery (SCA 1) and Coromandel Scallop Fishery (SCA CS), which include the proposed area, were closed to commercial and recreational scallop fishing under section 11 of the Fisheries Act 1996. The Motairehe Marae Trust Board wish to continue with their request to prohibit the harvest of scallops, pāua, and rock lobster to establish their tino rangatiratanga in the decision-making process.
The closure request and map can be found at the links below.
The letter from the Motairehe Marae Trust requesting the closure
Map of the proposed closure area
Related Great Barrier Island Controlled Area Notice
The proposed area includes a Controlled Area Notice that Biosecurity New Zealand placed on Great Barrier Island to minimise the spread of exotic Caulerpa species. This includes Blind Bay, Tryphena Harbour, and Whangaparapara Harbour. A temporary closure would have no effect on any Caulerpa Controlled Area Notice.
The Controlled Area Notice is in place until 31 October 2023.

a quick google and yep need to remove old ablative first, never trust a sales person
https://www.wetandforget.co.nz/pages/warpaint-faqs
Which antifoulings can WAR PAINT be applied over?
The hard types present no problems, provided, of course, that the existing system is sound. A wet sand is necessary to prepare the surface for recoat – any defects must also be repaired as necessary. Existing antifoulings of the “soft” type should, in general, be removed. This is to prevent the possibility of the soft system from clearing or suffering cohesive failure beneath the harder, stronger product. Should the soft system not be removed, failure on recoat is not guaranteed – indeed soft systems have been recoated with good results in the past, but the chance of problems is significant. -

Yes I agree........but one helluva job. Certainly wouldnt use Warpaint again after getting treated like an idiot when I asked them for their comments on what may have caused the problems. They did repeat that Warpaint is perfectly compatable with No5 and that was about the extent of their involvement . Basically they blamed me even though I have been boatbuilding and applying anti fouling for over 60 years without problems....20 years of which involved professionally applying anti fouling.
I know things go wrong for various reasons but my main disappointment was in Wet & Forget's attitude when I tried to talk it over with them.they just didnt seem to give a toss!..
But thanks for your comments.much appreciated.
A case for consumer affairs comes to mind,maybe go back to wetnforget and mention its a breach of the fair trading act,never know they may come to the party. nothing to loose, Its based on a sakes person saying that it compatiable. Verbal stands

Most of us do a sort of anchor watch, generally do a check of warp and position before retiring ,I wake up at least twice and do a general check, but as for 24/7 watch I still claim the intention is for commercial more than recreational. As most recreational are anchored in bays/harbours with other vessels, commercial more likely(when not fishing) may anchor in remote places .
My last insurance policy quite clearly stated that insurance covered anchored providing it was not left for more than 24hr period unattended, unless on its usual mooring/marina.

Which is why we have a judicial system that determines legal meaning.
Do you think that any rights should apply to your vessel while it is anchored?
- If your boat, while anchored, collides with another anchored boat, how should liability be apportioned?
- Should the portion you pay change because say the occupants of the other boat are ashore walking on the beach?
- Should the portion you pay change if the other occupants are asleep downstairs and you couldn't wake them as you tried to stop the collision?
If you were anchored ahead and dragged down on to another vessel,you would be at fault in my mind,as you cant drag to windward.

interesting article of a lady who at 103yrs old is still hauling crayfish commercially.

Caulerpa now in BOI

Seems simple to me, pump and water on retrieval goes through a big filter similar to what they use to pump water from sewage plant before water goes back to sea like at mangere,
