Tauranga City Council today passed - just - its controversial bylaw banning begging and rough sleeping near retail and hospitality premises. The Education Minister Chris Hipkins has a big new plan for early childhood education. It'll cost $350m a year for 10 years and includes more and better qualified teachers, the proportion of fully-qualified teachers at every ECE will go up, there'll be pay increases.

Fourteen school pupils on the Gold Coast were in an overcrowded elevator that plunged several floors. And in Chicago a skyscrpaer lift fell from the 95th floor to the 11th.
