A similar initiative was launched in Australia at the start of the month, and buses became known as “Jabba the Bus”.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has challenged the public to come up with a better name, but has ruled out “Busey McBusface”.
What do you think the vaccination buses should be called?

When Delta first showed up in NZ the Govt's words were. "Short, sharp lockdown"
I do not consider 5 weeks in level 4, and probably at least another 2 in useless level 3 as being a short sharp lockdown.
Nearly 2 months out of people's lives.

I do not consider 5 weeks in level 4, and probably at least another 2 in useless level 3 as being a short sharp lockdown.
Nearly 2 months out of people's lives.
Roll on the day when those of us who are fully vaccinated can have some freedom!
Those who choose not to be vaccinated can stay home.
Kia ora Neighbours, Two big lockdowns and the GFC before them will leave more scars on Auckland's most vulnerable communities. Is it time for more than a crisis response? Read the article below:
It's te wiki o te reo Māori, and to celebrate this awesome initiative, we've given our logo a little update.

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.

One of the bags was ripped, and every once in a while, a $20 note fell out onto the footpath.
Noticing this, a Policeman stopped her, and said “Excuse me Ma’am, there are $20 notes falling out of that bag”
“Damn” says the little old lady, “I’d better go back and see if I can find them and pick them up”
“Not so fast” says the cop, “How did you get all that money? Did you steal it?”
“Oh, no” replied the little old lady, “You see, my back yard backs up to the local sports stadium and each time there is a game, a lot of fans come by come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden.
It used to really tick me off, kills the flowers you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it?’
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘OK buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.’
“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK, Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?”
"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays."

The fishery officer asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
"Nah, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?"
"Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let 'em swim round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this chilly in and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of rubbish! Fish can't do that!"
The man looked at the fishery officer for a moment and then said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."
"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"
The man poured the fish into the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the fishery officer turned to him and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" said the man.
"When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"
"The FISH!"
"What fish?"
To do our part, here's two phrases we believe everyone should know in Te Reo Māori.

I've been filling 5.5kg honey buckets. The bees have foraged this areas in in the Puketi forest in the Far North. Great for doing lots of cooking or baking that requires plenty of honey! Buckets are food grade. Light coloured honey with lots of Towai in it. Mild taste.
I sell the 5.5kg buckets for $60.
Pickups not allowed during current alert level but I can still use the courier to deliver these for $6 within urban Auckland.
If you would like one, message me OR email Donbuckhoney@gmail.com OR just go straight to my website:

If you would like to pick one up after lockdown ends (from Massey), be in touch and I can put you on a wait list.
Thank-you!

The dictionary definition of the word used is "a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid". The word was used in a direct quote from the NZ Herald, it would appear then that is ok for MMS media to use it but not me. Funny really when Neighbourly is owned by Stuff, who promote themselves as champions of free speech.
I have just received the message I have cut and pasted below, I make the assumption that I am about to be disconnected by the thought police.
