FEWER than half of this week’s online voters said they use the Covid-19 tracer app on their smartphones. The web poll asked who was using the app when they went into businesses. Of the 286 people who took part, 47 percent said yes they used it (133 votes), 39 percent said no (111 votes) and 14 percent (42 votes) said they had not downloaded it. Comments ranged from “Big Brother can go watch someone else”, to saying the app was “vital for tracing”. However, the biggest cluster of comments (37 percent of all comments left) were about not having the right technology to download the Covid-19 tracer app. “Not everyone has a smart phone”, said one, while others said the same thing in different words. “I would but my phone is too old.” “Call me old fashioned — have only a talk and text dumb phone, and happy to keep it that way.” “My phone cannot support the app. Too old.” One person without the latest technology said they were writing in a diary to keep track of their HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Kingdom Kids Trust board chairwoman Caroline Cave and trustee Deryk Jenson with pupils Rees own movements.

AUCKLAND — Fashion designer Dame Trelise Cooper says she believes a massive burglary at her Epsom company was organised, and the stolen garments could be destined for overseas. And Dame Trelise said a disturbing, new attempt at accessing her building was made only last weekend. On Friday of last week (October 23), Dame Trelise told the New Zealand Herald she had hired a private investigator, and that police had been in touch with her after the burglary, which happened the weekend before last. “I’ve learned a lot more about crime in New Zealand. I definitely don’t think this was an inside job,” she said. An estimated 1800 samples, all size 8, were stolen from the world-famous designer’s Auckland headquarters. ‘TARGETED’: Above, Dame Trelise Cooper.
