Fish donation for recovering hoiho
Hungry hoiho at Dunedin's Wildlife Hospital have received a helping hand, or at least a large donation of fish.
With its usual suppliers operating with limited capacity, the hospital asked Fisheries New Zealand for assistance. The request was shared with the wider industry and Sealord offered to donate 37 boxes (the equivalent of one tonne) of southern blue whiting.
The hospital currently has eight penguins in hospital and another 28 in rehab at the private conservation reserve, Penguin Place, hospital trust manager Jordana Whyte said.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
