Changes to minimum wage and tax policy came into force in New Zealand today.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s had promised to raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour (£10.15) and to raise taxes on the wealthiest Kiwis.

The rise in wages means that the income of 175,500 New Zealanders will be increased by $44 (£22.30) each week.

New Zealand has not seen a community case of Covid-19 since late Febuary.

For one, the uninitiated, such as a valet, may never think to look to the touchscreen for this function.

That said, it seems this is the override function Elon Musk referred to when he tweeted, "No gear shifter, no turn signals, no problem. »
