As a retired health worker and mother, I am horrified to hear of the reluctance of ACC to fund women with perineal tears after being ripped in childbirth. These are not trivial injuries and can blight lives, often resulting in incontinence. Giving birth is not an adventure sport, yet sportspeople and thrillseekers can come to grief and get amazing care long after the initial injuries – great for physios.

In the following days, DOC received several more reports of a whale swimming close to shore from people in Parapara, Milnthorpe and Collingwood. On Wednesday morning, Ogle got a call to say a whale had stranded at Ferry Point, near the Aorere River mouth. “When we got there it was clearly dead and had been that way for quite a few hours, so it probably died in the early hours of Wednesday morning.”

The baleen whale was found dead on the beach but appeared to be in good condition. Ogle said DOC was unsure of the cause of death, which could often be challenging to determine.
