When you have a account it does not show my password which is annoying🙏

Getting even worse

Every article has a mostly useless image attached, the main page is so full of these it is impossible to scroll through without opening some random story.
Story is the word - too much opinion disguised as news.

Debate

What an appalling, self opinionated host. He has completely spoiled the debate

Cancelled subscription

It’s now the Fox News of New Zealand. Seriously not paying for a subscription anymore for a poorly balanced Fox News wanna be.
