COVID-19 is the problem, not the people - please show compassion during this time
We appreciate this can be a scary time for a lot of whaanau – especially with all the misinformation on COVID-19 floating around on social media. Please keep in mind that the virus is the problem – not the people. Let’s show manaakitanga and aroha to one another.
Remember - you've got this! Wash your hands, 2 metre physical distance and go and get tested if you’ve got any of the symptoms – please call your doctor to get a test first. All testing is FREE.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
