Often when South Dunedin flooded, it was held up as the exemplar of what climate change induced sea-level rise might look like in New Zealand.
However, there were other factors behind the suburb's vulnerability to flooding that were being ignored, including run-off from Dunedin's hills.

Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!
