When we think of Easter we often think of treats, chocolate eggs and hot cross buns. But when treats become the norm, it can be a problem - a huge problem.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Being prediabetic myself... you have to watch what you eat. It can effect your health in so many bad ways, things you don't realise is linked and or caused by diabetes.

To fight it, it becomes a life-style change, not just a diet to loose some weight, but eating healthily and regular exercise for the rest of your life. That is what a life style change is.

National's David Bennett says Labour has "no idea" about the housing market as the second week after the Government's changes to tax policy near an end.

Last week, the Government announced it would phase out the so-called "tax loophole" for property investors over four years. Investors responded by threatening to hike rents and pull out of the market.

In an extraordinary seven-minute tirade, a high-profile Australian television host has accused New Zealand of "backstabbing" Australia and "sucking up" to China by staying quiet on concerns about a World Health Organization (WHO) report into the origins of COVID-19.

Newshub first reported on Thursday morning that New Zealand didn't join its partners in releasing a statement on the WHO report as it wanted more time to analyse the study.
