Do you know what your rights are at work? How about your rights to do with renting or owning a home? If you buy something that’s faulty do you know what your options are? This CAB Awareness Week from 8-14 April you’re being invited to Discover Your Rights – Tūhuratia ō motika!

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.

A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.

The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.

The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.

We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.

We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

Neill, best know for his roles in hit movies Jurassic Park and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, wrote in an opinion piece for Stuff that a new interfaith hub on the cathedral site would "symbolize a different, current Christchurch" after the March 15 mosque terror attack.

The Christchurch-based Super Rugby franchise confirmed on Wednesday the name and imagery from next season was being reviewed, with New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew saying the link to knights on horseback was "no longer tenable".

Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge said seeking the views of those directly affected by the shootings at two mosques on March 15 was not fair while the tragedy was still raw. Fifty worshippers were killed and dozens more injured when a gunman opened fire during afternoon prayers.

Do you think the team's name should be changed? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts in the comments below (please write NFP if you don't want your comments published).
