So bring your damaged and broken things along on 31st July between 11am and 2pm and our volunteer experts will do their best to repair them for free.

Get that old bike out of your garage and get it serviced or that
puncture fixed!
What about that lamp that doesn’t go on; the toaster, kettle or radio?
Those pants you wish you could get taken up or dress let out?
That toy that needs stitching or gluing?
The laptop that you wish someone would take a look at?
The chair with a wobbly leg? The coffee table with the piece that needs
screwing or nailing or gluing back in?

Here is your opportunity. It’s all part of a making a circular economy.
And besides that it’s all good fun!

From past experience, about 70% of items are successfully repaired.
If you are happy with your repair, donations / koha gratefully received

Kia ora neighbours. Auckland University has launched a review into the safety of its staff.

Microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles, an associate professor at the University of Auckland, is among academics who have spoken out about been targeted.

She received online abuse following her work on Covid-19. Last week, she was bullied and harassed while having breakfast at a Wellington hotel, while a far-right blogger livestreamed the interaction.

University spokeswoman Lisa Finucane confirmed a review was underway, but said the university could not comment further until it was complete.

“The safety of staff and students is always our priority,” she said.

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽
