Auckland, your feedback is in regarding the Representation Commission's proposed electorate changes to help deal with overpopulation prior to this year's election.

Changes to the Manukau East electorate received the majority of the objections, with 64. Objectors were concerned the new boundary would separate Panmure from Mt Wellington.

Fifty-eight people said the name Helensville would not represent the communities within the electorate, instead suggesting Atuanui, Mahurangi and Kaipara, or keeping the name Rodney.

Hibiscus Coast was put forward as an alternative name by many of the 21 Whangaparāoa objectors.

Boundary changes to Papakura were mostly supported by 22 people, while 22 objectors to the new Flat Bush electorate suggested adding areas from Botany and Manurewa and calling it Takanini, Flat Bush-Takanini, Manukau South, Manurewa East, Totara or Totara Park.

What do you think about the changes proposed for your electorate?

Looking for a new memory foam queen size mattress. Any suggestions where to purchase? There is Ecosa and I am thinking about them but just wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else who might sell them a bit cheaper? Obviously in Auckland would be great.
