What do you think about this dispute?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

An emergency housing provider who once housed 25 people on his rural Rototuna property is embroiled in a battle with authorities after the council deemed it unsafe and shut the operation down.

Harry Han housed 25 MSD clients at his Morning Calm Lodge, just north of the Waikato Expressway near Gordonton Rd before Waikato District Council declared it unsafe for human inhabitation.

Aroha from the kitchen for their King

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

From those working in the food-prep engine room of the ‘dungeon’, through to their mates carrying plates in the dining room - one of the biggest expressions of aroha for King Tuheitia is in the kai to feed his mourners.

With tens of thousands of people descending on Tūrangawaewae for the tangi of Kiingi Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero Vll, keeping them fed across most of a the week is no small task.
