Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

I don't mind breastfeeding in public, and don't find it disgusting etc... and have nothing against it, however, there is a time and place, and this was not the place, simply blocking the aisle for other shoppers is not on, and because blocking said aisle it becomes a health and safety issue...

And then the kid probably needs to be weened off the tit..

New Zealand's superannuation system is one of the most generous pension schemes in the world. Dished out at a rate of $25,000 a year before tax if you're single and living alone, or $37,500 for a couple, it virtually single-handedly pulls over-65-year-olds out of poverty and enables a basic standard of living.

What is new is the fact we have the technology to identify it fast, track it, stop it, cure it, and vaccinate against it: We are literally watching the birth of a new human infection in real time.

Air New Zealand will take full responsibility if one of its crew contracts the novel-coronavirus on the charter flight bringing New Zealanders home from Wuhan, its head pilot Captain Dave Morgan says.

It remains unclear how many people will be on the flight, with figures ranging from 70 up to more than 260, but they'll be a mix of New Zealanders, Australians and Pacific Islanders. It will land in Auckland at around 4pm on Wednesday.
