A woman is angry after being forced to leave Sylvia Park shopping centre for not wearing any shoes.

Rachelle McDonald, from Panmure, told Stuff a security guard asked her to leave the mall for "failing to adhere to the mall's policy". She accidentally left her shoes behind as she rushed in urgently, needing to use a computer.
The guard warned her she could only return if she put some shoes on. McDonald was shocked by the incident, saying walking barefoot was a huge part of her Kiwi culture growing up. "People should have the option to wear what they want on their feet just as they have the right to wear what clothes they want. "A homeless person wearing no shoes has just as much of a right to go into Pak'nSave at Sylvia Park ... as anyone else." Sylvia Park centre manager Susan Jamieson said the shopping centre did not have a policy that required customers to wear footwear. "However, we recommend that footwear is worn on travelators and escalators inside the centre." Jamieson said some of the centre's retailers might have their own policies relating to "a standard of dress required for entry to their premises".

From tomorrow, people on the Disability Allowance, Child Disability Allowance or the Supported Living Payment will be able to have assessments completed by nurses. The change is part of the new Social Security Act 2018.
"The new legislation allows nurse practitioners to conduct medical assessments and complete medical certificates for all MSD benefit and assistance related assessments," Minister for Social Development Carmel Sepuloni said. “This is about making services easier to access, particularly for disabled people or those with health conditions.” Nurse Practitioners are authorised to practise at an advanced level, prescribe medicines and manage common and complex health conditions. “MSD clients that already use a nurse practitioner for their primary healthcare, will be able to see the same nurse when applying for, or renewing, their benefit assistance for their medical conditions, instead of having to see a doctor. “The changes are especially helpful for those living in small towns or rural communities where the closest doctor may be miles away. It will cut out extra travel costs and doctor fees and time spent waiting for a doctor’s appointment. It also makes better use of our health workforce," Ms Sepuloni said.
