Rushing out laws is not the answer to a tragedy
In the wake of a horrific crime, we should resist the temptation to agree in haste to propositions that are essentially political

It is only natural, when some horrible crime has been committed, to call for more laws against it. The murder of Sarah Everard was a peculiarly horrible crime, so this reaction has been strong.

The CRV Ambreed Country Premier One Day 2020/21 competition resumed with its first post-Christmas round on Saturday.
At picturesque Cheviot Domain, visiting Ohoka bowled first and soon had the Magpies in trouble, with left-arm paceman Hamish Williams doing the damage at the top of the order.
