Hollywood heavyweights Kirsten Dunst​ and Jesse Plemons​ applied for an exemption to avoid having to quarantine in an Auckland hotel

Their application came at a time when virtually all foreigners were banned due to Covid-19 border restrictions. The pair applied to spend their time in a secluded Waikato property.

Although the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) refused to confirm whether an exemption was granted, the pair have told Vanity Fair they are staying in a hotel.

Their application for an exemption cited concerns over privacy and a concern they would be followed by photographers.

Last year, a public vote on the clock tower’s new paint job brought national attention to the Wairarapa town.

Townsfolk voted for a reserved colour palette rather than a bold rainbow design.

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).

However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.

It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.


“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

Masks still available

We started making masks for our family members, and have extended into the community. We have quilted and sewn for many years, so our masks are excellent quality

We do not charge for the masks, but ask people to go online and make a donation to Cystic Fibrosis NZ. We suggest that people might like to donate $15 for one mask, or $25 for two, but leave the amount paid entirely up to the purchaser.

Cystic Fibrosis is an incurable genetic condition that affects both the lungs and the digestive system. Until very recently there has been no cure and no effective treatment. Life expectancy for someone with Cystic Fibrosis is around 35 years. We have a five year old in our family with Cystic Fibrosis, and know first-hand the level of support needed by both the child and the family.

We also ask people to go online and sign the petition to the NZ Govt, to fund Trikafta which is a new “miracle drug” for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers. (www.parliament.nz...)

Our masks are:
• Fitted style
• 100% cotton
• Double layer
• High thread count quilter’s fabric
• Reversible
• Anti-fogging style (great if you wear glasses)
• Three sizes (child, Med, Large)

If you would like a mask (or two) please contact: Lesley 0212996389
