Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

An Auckland councillor says burning a maunga is like setting an ancestor on fire after fireworks led to a chaotic night across the country, including two large blazes in Auckland.
Scrub fires broke out on Tuesday night – Guy Fawkes – on Maungarei / Mt Wellington and Maungawhau / Mt Eden.
The flames, first reported about 10pm, were visible from surrounding suburbs and plumes of smoke billowed low across the city. By midnight, both fires were largely under control, Fire and Emergency NZ said.
What do you think of fireworks? Does this push the need for a ban on private sales?
