I guess it is Stuff's birthday or something? But confetti seems slightly misplaced this morning.
Stuff's online masthead with the breaking news banner showing "Building partially collapses in 'tornado' in Auckland Follow live" and the top story having the headline: "Live: 'Tornado' report in Auckland; state of emergency in flooded south" with a photo of bad weather.

Linda looks stoked that she had cash
A photo of a women with a jacket on looking stoked with her trolley of groceries below the text: 10m ago By Kaitlin Easton Linda in Toowoomba discovered the outage as she headed to a supermarket checkout, where no eftpos machines were working. "I'm lucky because I happened to have $100 cash that was birthday money. I was one of the lucky ones. "A lot of people had to leave trolleys full of groceries, and walk out of the store. There was a lady in there who said 'what am I going to do?'

Why I’m not convinced the return on investment of sponsoring venues is worth it - I don’t think people can keep track of who the current sponsor is and who previous sponsors are. I guess Go Media are finding that hence this ad

I appreciate the attempt of this article, but the advice to really encourage work-life balance would be to switch off completely on the weekend. The window of possibility for contact is from Monday morning. www.nzherald.co.nz/business/tre...
Screenshot of an article: “"You might want to make it clear to your colleagues and employers that you won't be checking emails or be available on your phone for Saturday, but will be checking in briefly on Sunday," says Pettersen. Related articles TRAVEL Aussie 'ghost island' sells for huge price 22 Sep 04:06 AM Communication is key. By being clear about your actions over the weekend period, you can avoid guilt around not being "on", while at the same time reassuring others that there is a window of possibility for contacting you if anything major occurs.”
