Apparently we have been granted a stay of execution. Not sure how long as yet, could be 1 month or 12 months....but its a bonus! Been a very strange period of time not knowing/being told anything.

Yep, we're up "for sale" and we're getting told very little.

Is it 100%? Is it 51%? Is it 49% and the board keeps the controlling share? Very disappointed with how we're being treated, particularly as the company has, at last count, about 40 people over 12 years service (some over 30 years) around NZ and Australia, that's a loyal workforce who I think deserve better.

To be honest, I'm not particularly stressed by it as the lack of direction from our senior management wouldn't look good to any prospective buyer, which, in my view, there would be very, very few of. I doubt anyone outside of our industry would be willing to buy into it and I highly doubt anyone in it, bar the multinationals, would be able to afford it and we wouldn't value add to any of those companies.

I've since found out that they withheld the info from staff, was due to they were scared most people would start taking 'sickies' or leave.....but they did make a couple of managers redundant....

Lucky enough to have met him several times.

Sad but why the hell would a cyclist (let lone one with a vision impairment) be on a road where cars are travelling at 110km/hr.
Just a matter of time before you're killed surely.

Driver charged with Driving Offences, no winners in this but sounds like it wasn't just an accident, FFS.

If he was riding on a bike track then he'd most likely still be alive no matter how many driving offences were committed on the road.

Pedestrians aren't allowed on some roads because of safety issues, surely the same should be in effect for cyclists?

I don't even take my moped that can cruise at 50km/h out on 60km/h roads where cars are to lessen my risk of an accident.

Surely a mature logical debate worth having instead of rolling eyes, abuse, etc.

No reason why all can't share the road, just abide by the road rules.

Zane Kirkwood has just ridden from Perth to Adelaide to raise funds for charity, a road where road trains fly by every few minutes, if that can be done safely then a dual lane road north of Adelaide should be fine if road rules are followed.
