Aloud Phones On Areoplanes?

SUMMARY:
Passengers on Qantas and Virgin airlines are able to use their mobile phones when on Australian domestic and international flights. In New Zealand no one yet knows if it going to be allowed on Air New Zealand Planes.

OPINION:

I think that they should let people use their phones on Air New Zealand Planes so that they can communicate using their phones.

Three People Injured At Bledisloe Cup Game!

At the Bledisloe Cup Game the fireworks injured three people. They were struck by debris when the fireworks ignited following the All Black haka.

How did the three people get injured when we can see in the picture that the fireworks and the audience are spaced out? From now on I think that people are going to sit at the back!

The world’s biggest underground trampoline park is in North Wales and the most thrilling thing about it is the highest trampoline which is 54 meters off the ground!

The Brand New Rainbow House



The Rainbow House has 4 bedrooms. It is colourful and the rent is $15,000 per month. There are a lot of cool features. I think that this Rainbow House is cool because it has slides connected to each room and kitchen. This might be the next most coolest house in history that was ever made.

Monkey Selfie

A monkey selfie image now has caused uproar on the internet following a debate over who owns the image. A guy named David Slater was taking photos of monkey’s when one of them took the camera of him and took a picture itself. Now the photo has now became famous with a huge amount of people using it.

People are saying that they don’t have to pay to use it because the monkey took the photo so no human owns the copyright. Usually professional photographers charge anyone who uses the snap they’ve taken because they own something called a copyright.

Wikipedia has been using one of the monkey’s selfie image without paying. They say that although the photo was taken on David Slater’s camera he still didn’t take the photo. Now he is angry and trying to find the site to take the picture down.
