The Bulletin: Muslim community to privately mark attack anniversary
The Bulletin
Good morning and welcome to The Bulletin. In today’s edition: It’s two years on from the Christchurch mosque attack, the spotlight is on commercial radio after sexual harassment claims, and Aucklanders have enjoyed their first weekend back at alert level one.
Today marks the two year anniversary of “one of New Zealand’s darkest days”. On March 15 in 2019, 51 people were killed while they worshipped in two Christchurch mosques. The terrorist, a white supremacist, injured 40 others. The perpetrator was last year sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Coca-Cola will stop making multipack boxes showing cans of Coke labelled ‘mum’ and ‘bub’ side-by-side. “These included popular names we call each other such as babe, beau, lover, hun, bub, honeybun, sweetheart and sweetie-pie.” She did not say if Coca-Cola would remove the product, or stop selling it. However, the company has since acknowledged the confusion that came with having the two words next to each other and said it will stop production of the boxes. We are disappointed that this oversight was made as we have a long-standing commitment to responsible marketing, a spokesperson told
Newshub. As of [Thursday], we will stop the production of all multipack cans which have bub next to mum on the cardboard wrap packaging.
Not okay to give Coca-Cola to babies
The spokesman explained that it would never be okay to let your baby drink Coke, even if you want to give it as a treat. He also pointed out the massive issue of poor oral health among the young ones.
Beaglehole said that it is heartbreaking to see the new marketing strategy of the company. After experiences of extracting teeth from many bubs, he knows that some parents feed their young ones Coca-Cola through their drinking bottles.
The sugary drink is bad for the teeth
The high acidity and sugar content of Coca-Cola will not only rot your teeth but also dissolve them, according to Beaglehole. He said that the devious campaign is explicitly telling parents that it is safe to give Coke to their babies.
