Do I need a new executor?​

Public Trust

Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one. ​

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

The mum is a gorgeous 4 year old with a great nature. This is her 2nd and final litter. The dad is 5 years old, very gentle with proven genetics. Both dogs were health checked prior to breeding.

Miniature schnauzers are non-shedding so won't leave hair around your house, plus they are hyper allergenic. They are incredibly loyal with heaps of character and are awesome around kids.

I've attached photos of each puppy plus mum and dad. I've also included a photo from Nuuna's last litter to give you an idea of what they'll look like at 4-5weeks
Currently they are 2 weeks old so have just opened their eyes. Puppies will be ready to go around Christmas time. Price is $3000 with a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure a puppy.

Price: $3,000

Freedom camping has been banned in a seaside Christchurch suburb following pleas from residents fed up with messy campers.

Southshore residents are hoping bylaw changes approved by the Christchurch City Council last week will put an end to freedom campers parking outside their homes and leaving a trail of urine-filled bottles, rubbish and condoms behind.

The council had proposed to include Southshore in a new coastal zone that allowed freedom camping in self-contained campers for up to four nights out of 30. The move was designed to get rid of a loophole that allowed campers to stay in the area for more than 24 nights without breaching the bylaw.

The new zone was approved but Southshore was excluded, and all freedom camping would be prohibited from Caspian St south from December 1.

Kiwis are now able to download their Covid vaccination certificate, called 'My Vaccine Pass'.

Anyone who is fully vaccinated can request a pass by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478. The vaccine pass can be downloaded as an image on your phone, added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, or printed out as a hard copy.

Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has asked people to be patient and request their passes over the next few days, as the website has already seen an overwhelming demand since it was launched this morning.

Passes will not be required to access essential businesses such as schools, supermarkets, or pharmacies, but more details on how they will be implemented are expected to be outlined in the press conference at 1pm today.

What you need to know:

• You can request a vaccine pass at mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478.
• If you don't receive an email with your pass within 24 hours, email the My Covid Record team on help@mycovidrecord.min.health.nz or call 0800 222 478. Check your spam folder first.
• The pass will be required later this year to enter some businesses and venues.
• There are separate passes you can request for domestic use and international travel.
