PERSON SUFFERS SPINAL INJURY JUMPING OFF WHARF (Times, January 2):
Amanda Napier:
There are multiple signs saying not to jump off but people are always taking the risk.
David Mallowes:
Has there been discussion re closing this wharf? Very rarely used by boats. St John are often called to. Whatever the future, this wharf is a historic feature of Maraetai. More railings?
Matthew Brajkovich:
People do silly things and this wharf was closed a few years back for works and people have been injured themselves off it for decades.
COUNCIL HINTS AT FURTHER RATES INCREASES (Times, January 2):
Anthony Littlejohn:
Poll tax time in Auckland? Everyone living here needs to pay for this.
Stephen Huckle:
I’m paying way too much for the services I don’t use. And my rubbish collection is extra fee. Water has more than doubled per month.
Matthew Brajkovich:
Really who would have thought. Even after the slash and burn budget cuts, how bad is it? $10 mil is small, $5 a head.
YOUNG FOOTBALL STARS EYE FUTURE WITH WELLINGTON PHOENIX (Times, January 5):

Congratulations to the both of them.
