Fancy a toe-tapping night out?

Karaoke Boiz

New Zealand's newest comedy musical Karaoke Boiz is on during Auckland Pride 2019 (7 - 16 Feb)!

This hilarious 1-hour show follows Wayne “King of Karaoke” in his search for the perfect band. Join him on his journey down the Waikato to discover new friends, foes and the biggest pop band to ever grace the planet.

Director Tom Sainsbury says 'This play is just so much fun! It's all the great karaoke numbers - ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Don't Stop Me Now’ and ‘Call Me’, as well as toe-tapping dance numbers and kiwi humour!”

This stellar stand-out cast of 10 musical performers is pure perfection... This should really be on at The Civic!

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
