Christchurch could end up with six new faces in Parliament, depending which way special votes go.

Former television producer Reuben Davidson, small business owner Laura Trask, freshwater ecologist Lan Pham and health researcher Hamish Campbell have all made it as either electorate or list MPs, and they all have Christchurch top of mind.

You could also add a doctor to the list if National’s Vanessa Weenink manages to hold on to her majority in Banks Peninsula after the special votes are counted.

Kahurangi Carter, the Green Party’s candidate for Christchurch Central, is another waiting on the results of the specials to confirm her place.

MOOSE Ginger/White Fluffy cat possible found Aidanfield

Oriana from Aidanfield

Hiya. Our neighbours moved away several years ago: they had Moose, a fluffy gorgeous ginger and white puddy. Well in the past few months a very scraggly looking Furbaby is looking for food when it is dark, and last night I actually touched him, and I think he is MOOSE. I have no contacts for these … View moreHiya. Our neighbours moved away several years ago: they had Moose, a fluffy gorgeous ginger and white puddy. Well in the past few months a very scraggly looking Furbaby is looking for food when it is dark, and last night I actually touched him, and I think he is MOOSE. I have no contacts for these people who moved to Lincoln, but we are contacting all the vets and we will try to catch him so can check the microchip. He looks very sad, matted and thin, but I am certain this is MOOSE.
I have attached photos of him when he was healthy, and at my house visiting. PLEASE PLEASE if you can help, do. He needs our assistance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post,

Sir Edmund Hillary was quoted with saying: "I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it."

This statement best applies to some incredible Canterbury village residents who walked the Godley Head Track on a chilly Christchurch morning.

The inter-village walk saw residents from Charles Upham and Ngaio Marsh villages walk together up, down and along the peninsula track.

Anthony Wilding residents’ van took a slight detour along Summit Road, so this group of walkers arranged to meet at a point along the track.

Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!
