Your thoughts on making Matariki a public holiday

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.

The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.

We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.

Auckland Zoo staff hand-rear tamarins after mum was unable to produce milk

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Twin tamarins are thriving at Auckland Zoo after their mum was unable to produce milk, leading to them being hand-reared.

Hi neighbours,

Twin tamarins are thriving at Auckland Zoo after their mum was unable to produce milk, leading to them being hand-reared.

The rare golden lion tamarins, a male and a female, were born to mum Frida on July 17.

Frida was unable to produce milk for her babies, meaning zookeepers had to make the decision, when they were two days old, to hand-rear them instead.

Auckland Zoo primate team leader Amy Robbins said the possibility of needing to hand-rear was already on the table because of Frida’s difficulty in raising offspring in the past.

“Hand-rearing is never a decision we make lightly and there are always risks, but we had strong science-based evidence to inform this call and the full support of this programme’s species coordinator,” Robbins said.

Flatmate wanted Home by the Sea

Kate from Kohimarama

Want to live in a home by the sea?

You get two rooms - and share a decent sized house with just one other! $330 per week plus expenses. Why not use the second space as an office or private lounge?

Want to live in a home by the sea?

You get two rooms - and share a decent sized house with just one other! $330 per week plus expenses. Why not use the second space as an office or private lounge?

It is not a flat it is a home with a great vibe. I would describe it as a chill-out zone to relax & unwind. Or a haven of chilled out-ness (is 'out-ness' even a word?).

The house has several different living areas so you can have your own space or be anonymous if that’s your thing. Two dining areas and two lounges to relax in. Interior design is a hobby so it looks the part with funky art and furniture.

Enjoy alfresco entertaining rain or shine, in the sheltered patio space, It has an outdoor dining room, outdoor couch with heater, a spa and gas brazier for fire side chats. There is also a large private backyard with all day sun. FYI, I have two kayaks available for you to use, to explore the nearby ocean playground.

Inside the house you will find a heat pump/air conditioning and more living areas. By the way the shower is amaze, very high pressure with a rain-fall head. Ceiling and walls are freshly repainted, like new!

It’s a 7 minute stroll to the beach and easy walking distance to all the cafes, restaurants and bars along Kohi, St Heliers and Mission Bay. Located on the border of Mission Bay and Kohimarama, it could be listed as either suburb

Sad to say flatmate is moving out. I reckon I must be pretty good to live with because my previous flatmate was here 2.5+ years. And the one prior was same length of time.

You may see this listing up for a while because I’m searching for the 'right person' not just anyone to share this well- located seaside pad. Sorry not suitable for party animals, couch potatoes. But it is suitable for the right person, hopefully that is you, so I can continue my track record of choosing awesome flatmates who enjoy living here so much they stay for years :-).

I'd love it if you text me and tell me a bit about yourself. Prefer text as opposed to email or phoning. Thanks- 021-435-169

Poll: Do you support new rules likely to result in fewer driveways to free up land for building?

Hi neighbours,

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.

Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.

The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.

Hi neighbour,

About one in 14 workers say they expect to lose their job or business by mid-2021, according to data released by Stats NZ on Tuesday.

A survey of employed people in the June 2020 quarter showed 7 percent felt there was a high or almost certain chance of losing their job or business within the next 12 months. At a national level this represented 185,000 workers.

A further 18 percent (468,000) felt there was a medium chance, while 4 percent (105,000) stated they did not know what their job security was going to be over the following year.

Most people surveyed said there was little or no chance of losing their job or business (71 percent or 1,859,000).

Small businesses have been vulnerable during the pandemic. Self-employed people who did not have staff or employees of their own felt more insecure about losing their business than employees felt about losing their job. Ten percent of self-employed people without employees reported low job security, compared with 6 percent of employees.

The household labour force survey (HLFS) June 2020 quarter was collected over a three-month period from April to June and asked employed people about their perceived job security over the next 12 months. During the collection period, New Zealand dropped from COVID-19 alert level 4 in April to alert level 1 by June.

Blind Low Vision NZ, formerly the Blind Foundation, is seeking volunteers to support this year’s Blind Week street collection on October 16 and 17.

Volunteers play a crucial role in raising funds needed to provide practical and emotional support for New Zealanders who are blind, deafblind or have low vision.

“Last year’s street collectors raised over $220,000 to empower Kiwis living with vision loss to live the life they choose. We’re hoping to go even further this year but we need your help,” Blind Low Vision NZ chief executive John Mulka said.

The money raised goes towards providing personalised vision rehabilitation services for people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision to fulfil their goals - whether that’s providing adaptive technology to stay in employment, orientation and mobility training including guide dogs, or developing tools and strategies to keep doing the things they need and want to do.

Mulka said every day an average of six Kiwis turn to Blind Low Vision NZ for support with sight loss.

“Volunteering two hours of your time by shaking a bucket and collecting donations is a way that you can help make a difference in people’s lives,” he said.

As well as supporting individuals, Blind Low Vision NZ seek to make big-picture change by advocating for inclusive communities and for optimal eye care services for all New Zealanders.

To sign up to collect during Blind Week visit blindweek.org.nz or call 0800 787 743.

Hi neighbours,

A snorkel has been recalled over concerns it could be a choking hazard.

The Arena Swim Snorkel Pro II was pulled from sale after a customer complained a small piece of material came loose inside the snorkel tube.

No-one was injured but Arena found a potential risk with the black mouthpieces, which could see a small piece detach, causing a choking hazard.

Arena apologised to customers and said it would replace the faulty product to ensure customer safety and prevent further risk.

Anyone using an Arena snorkel was also advised to check it before use.

Customers who bought the Arena Swim Snorkel Pro II can register on the company’s website to receive replacement parts.
