Waiho Bridge Washed Away

Yesterday on the 26th of March the Waiho bridge on the West Coast washed away due to major flooding. This happened near Franz Josef the place where the glaciers are. Lots of tourists and people go to visit the glaciers. 

My opinion is that it will cause lots of problems for the council as they will have to try and replace it quickly to get the road open.  It has been a temporary bridge for 25 years.

  This week on Wednesday 13th March there was a 11 million dollar lotto win. The people who won it come from Hawkes Bay.

                                         My opinion is that they are lucky to win the lotto and I think that they will be going on a holiday really soon because I sure would!

What would you do if you won $11 million?

What sort of animal was involved in a mass stranding in the Marlborough Sounds last week? 

In the news this week there was some dolphins stranded on an island in the Marlborough Sounds last week.

Thirteen common dolphins were found dead near the entrance to Troy Channel in the Marlborough Sounds last week. Scientists don't know why they did it because they did not seem sick.

My opinion is that it is not good and the dolphins don't deserve that to happen to them.  I wonder why they did it?

What's Been on the News this Week?

The Auckland city is deciding about banning these scooters from the city forever today. They have already banned them for a week because the brakes are locking on and causing serious injuries to people.  These scooters are called lime scooters.  The scooters could break apart while you are using them.

I think that it is a good idea to ban them if it is doing what they say.  What do you think?

What has Been in the News this Week...

The new Zealand police are spending  $20.7 million on ....?  

Body armour!

They are saying that is is more comfortable and lighter then the one they are using now.

Fact 1: It will be delivered to all Police officers in New Zealand over the next three years. 

Fact 2: It is designed to stop most rifle rounds.

My opinion is that they should get it as they need it for their job but not spend as much money on it.
