Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.
Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.
Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.
Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.
We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

The law says public holidays exist to observe days of “national, religious, or cultural significance”, but most of our holidays aren’t expressly Kiwi.
We’re overdue the creation of a unifying holiday that honours Aotearoa’s past and celebrates New Zealand’s future. Matariki is that holiday.

The plea comes from staff at the Southbrook Recovery Centre in Rangiora, who face the trauma of finding kittens destined for landfill when they arrive at work.
Waimakariri District Council solid waste asset manager Kitty Waghorn said there had been issues with dumped and feral felines at the recovery centre for years.
It was upsetting for staff, and posed risks for native wildlife and the cats themselves, she said.

The children with cavities had an average of six teeth that were either decayed, already pulled out or repaired with a filling – that’s 30 per cent of their 20 baby teeth.
The appalling figures have led to renewed pleas to fluoridate Christchurch’s water and for “grazing” eating habits to change.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:

"As vets we don't get any subsidies from the Government to reduce the costs of animal care and it's been a long-held dream of mine to create a service which provides vet care to those who might otherwise struggle to afford it," she said.
"Pets are so important for wellbeing and especially in uncertain times when we can turn to our pets for a source of comfort and routine."
Bagheri is currently developing a plan for the community vet service and is keen to hear from others who would like to be involved in the project.

The Hurunui District Council’ claimed a storage building had been constructed on a rural Amberley site without consent by the tenant, Ian Ffitch, and told him to remove the containers from the property.
Determinations manager Katie Gordon said the council was correct in saying the roof should have had a building consent, but that could be rectified by removing the roof, which Ffitch has since done.
