My dear neighbour
One of my friend know a worker who works on Auckland wharf for a crane company . He said during these days a lot of ships come to Auckland wharf. So his boss wanted to bring more workers, but because their company do not belong to wharf union. The wharf union refused the extra workers to help. His boss wanted the shipment done faster, but wharf union refused all the solution. His boss complained, "Why Auckland wharf union are so narrow-minded." A few days later, their company's machinery were badly damaged and had to close down. Then most ships left for Tauranga and a few to Whangarei. That's why Kmart and other supermarket's shelves are empty.
I simply want the Aucklanders to know the truth.
I heard by June that crane company which suffered from the damage will not sign the new contract with Auckland council and leave Auckland wharf more lack of cranes and workers.

Keep your eyes peeled for sea spurge this summer

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

When you're out and about this summer, look out for the invasive weed sea spurge.

Sea spurge invades the shores just above the high tide mark, disrupts sand dunes, and stops native plants from being able to grow.

The fast spreading weed can ravage a whole area in a short space of time.

When you're out and about this summer, look out for the invasive weed sea spurge.

Sea spurge invades the shores just above the high tide mark, disrupts sand dunes, and stops native plants from being able to grow.

The fast spreading weed can ravage a whole area in a short space of time.

The Department of Conservation and the Ministry for Primary Industries have urged people to report any sightings.

Its sap is toxic to humans and animals and can cause skin irritations, or temporary blindness if you get it in your eyes.

So don't try to remove it if you do spot it.

Sea spurge looks like a small shrub which can grow up to about half a metre high.

It has multiple steams which are reddish at the base and spiky, tightly packed blue/green leaves and greenish flowers.

What to do this summer if you think you've found sea spurge:

Don't disturb the sea spurge plants as it could spread the seeds.

Don't cut sea spurge or try to remove it; its sap is toxic.

Take a photo of the location and a close-up of the plants.

Try and get your location as accurate as possible and note it down.

Call the MPI exotic pest line on 0800 80 99 66.
