Just when it was looking promising for Auckland to move down a fraction of a level, giving us the welcome morale booster of click and collect shopping - why in heaven's name can't we buy books in Level 4 - along comes the news that Waikato has three positive cases of Covid, including two children one of whom was symptomatic while at school.

Here at Newstalk ZB we’ve got a lot of messages concerned about the government controlling the media in the last week.
These concerns have often accompanied by a video of Newshub’s Tova O’Brian talking about a document dump.
Kerre McIvor spoke to Tova to confirm that the government did not pay TV3 to shelve the story.

The Wānaka couple must have been listening to Deborah Pead on this show yesterday, given the apology and expressions of remorse delivered by them last night when their name suppression lapsed.
Oh, they're very sorry, and they understand they've done wrong, but they weren't Covid positive and they hadn't been to places of interest.

Covid-19 lockdowns have given Dads a lot of food for thought and they are now re-evaluating their work-life balance.
For many fathers, it's given them a chance to have the family time they wanted but couldn't make happen.
It's also opened the eyes of a lot of men as to the work their partners do running their families, and in many situations, the male contribution to domestic housework and childcare has increased.

Business is doing it tough; and they’re telling Government loud and clear there is a need for employers to receive a weekly support package to cover recurring costs to get through another two weeks of lockdown.
The Auckland Business Chamber has an online petition calling on Government to provide an employer subsidy, rather than a one off resurgence payment which did not go anywhere near far enough.
There's been a great response...
