Needing to raise some money.

Sarah from Woolston

Is anyone out there needing some odd jobs done for them? I have a sick bunny and am desperately needing to make some money to help pay for his treatment. I’m only working 4 days a week at the moment and He’s already hit over $500 in vet bills. We’re about to rack up roughly another $300+ next… View moreIs anyone out there needing some odd jobs done for them? I have a sick bunny and am desperately needing to make some money to help pay for his treatment. I’m only working 4 days a week at the moment and He’s already hit over $500 in vet bills. We’re about to rack up roughly another $300+ next week when he goes for another lot of xrays etc to see if the antibiotics are working to shrink a 7cm abscess in his belly.

I can’t really help with garden stuff as I’m allergic to grass but I can help out with dishes, cleaning, cooking meals, walking dogs, I can wash your car etc if anyone needs a hand? I’m just desperate to make sure he gets the treatment he needs.

Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Ambitious proposals for a memorial to the March 15 terror attack response include a large ornamental water feature, a playground and a conference centre.

The New Zealand Federation of Islamic Associations has drawn up concept plans for a memorial to "capture the legacy of how New Zealanders all came together as one" after the shootings at two Christchurch mosques.

The architecture firm behind the concept plans, Apa Architects in Rotorua, estimated the project would cost between $10 million and $15m to build.
