The party's drugs policy, launched by National leader Judith Collins in Hawke's Bay on Monday, includes a promised $50 million in contestable funding for community-based harm reduction programmes, and more drug dogs at airport and ports to stop drugs entering the country.
“We can either decide that we’re going to lose the war, or we’re going to decide to take it seriously,” Collins said.
“The use of this drug tears families apart, fuels violence, enriches criminals and destroys lives. We cannot tolerate the continued misery this drug causes, which leads to rising levels of violence and poverty, and widespread social harm.”

Consumer NZ spokesperson Jessica Wilson said the chain was prominently displaying its “Clubcard price” as the main price, while the regular price was in much smaller font and easier to miss.
Until recently, checkout operators could scan a temporary Clubcard for customers without one, which would allow all shoppers to access the loyalty scheme’s discounts. But that has since been stopped.
A Foodstuffs spokeswoman said it had removed temporary Clubcards from checkout counters after “lots of communication” with customers about the loyalty programme.
The spokeswoman disagreed with Consumer NZ’s claims and said it failed to point out that other retailers offered loyalty programmes.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a raft of temporary changes to NCEA for Auckland students, who have missed an extra two a half weeks of school compared to pupils in the rest of the country.
The changes build on the system of bonus credits previously announced for all students.
Auckland teenagers will now earn one bonus credit for every four credits they achieve, up to a maximum of 16 bonus credits at level 1, and 12 at levels 2 and 3.
In the rest of the country, students will get one credit for every five they earn, up to a maximum of 10 and eight.
Four thousand students will now be able to enrol in summer school through Te Kura Correspondence School. There is normally a cap of 1000 students.

Greenslade Reserve will soon enter stage two works later this month following a funding boost from the Government.
The upgrade will deliver a high-performance sports field, flourishing urban wetland, and recreational facilities including terraced seating, a BBQ area and a walkway.
Underground stormwater pipes will also be replaced to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding in and around the town centre.
Kaipātiki Local Board chair John Gillon said it is fantastic news that stage two of the work is able to proceed.
"This project supports the Northcote redevelopment, while also improving our park and environment,” he said.
“What will be delivered here will benefit the Northcote community for many years to come, and help to change the whole dynamic of the surrounding area.”
Stage two was confirmed following a funding boost through the Government’s “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects scheme, a scheme aimed to get the economy going post-COVID-19. Auckland Council and Kāinga Ora welcome this funding for the Northcote Development project, which includes works at Greenslade Reserve.
The commencement of stage two works will means that there will be no access to the reserve during construction. Construction is expected to begin this month and conclude next winter.

We have systems in place to ensure safety for all of our patients and staff.
This includes asking all visitors to the clinic to wear a face cover. Don’t have one? No worries, our staff will provide you with one.
Additionally, we would greatly appreciate limiting the number of support people you bring into the clinic to one (where possible). This helps us to ensure social distancing is maintained which helps to keep us all safe.

Hi neighbours,

Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has announced Labour will make Matariki New Zealand’s twelth public holiday from 2022 if re-elected.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for the Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.
The exact timing of Matariki shifts every year as it relates to a star cluster reappearing and has traditionally varied between Iwi.
It would be the first new public holiday since the Third Labour Government made Waitangi Day a public holiday in 1973, although then Prime Minister Norman Kirk called it “New Zealand Day”.
“Matariki will be a distinctly New Zealand holiday and a time for reflection, celebration and to look to the future as we take increasing pride in our unique national identity,” Ardern said.
She said the struggling tourism sector could use the help of another holiday and noted the “long run” with no public holidays that currently happens between Queen’s Birthday in early June and Labour Day in late October.
“We don’t have many statutory holidays compared to other OECD countries and it would be good to break up the long run through winter,” Ardern said.
