I am only 53 and I feel my body shutting down, brown and I am in a physical labour job... I am hoping I will make it to 65 let alone them raising it... bugger that and those that say we should come do my job for a couple of months and see how you feel.

National's Chris Penk has gone on Australian television to say he's "embarrassed" for New Zealand that Defence Minister Peeni Henare weighed in on the removal of a controversial essay from an Army website.
The essay, titled 'Can the Army Afford to go Woke, Benign Social Progress or National Security Threat', was last week awarded a prize in the Chief of Army Writing competition and published on the Knowledge-Enabled Army (KEA) website.

Pfizer plans to ask US regulators to authorize a booster dose of its COVID-19 vaccine within the next month, the drugmaker's top scientist said on Thursday, based on evidence of greater risk of reinfection six months after inoculation and the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
Pfizer chief scientific officer Mikael Dolsten said the recently reported dip in the vaccine's effectiveness in Israel was mostly due to infections in people who had been vaccinated in January or February. The country's health ministry said vaccine effectiveness in preventing both infection and symptomatic disease fell to 64 percent in June.

Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick, who sits on Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Committee (FEC), has for three weeks now sought a briefing from Treasury officials on how it comes up with advice on house price forecasting.
