Flood-prone South Dunedin's future depends on science not propaganda

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

However, there were other factors behind the suburb's vulnerability to flooding that were being ignored, including run-off from Dunedin's hills.

What does ANZAC day mean to you?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ANZAC Day is a time to reflect, remember, and honour those who served.

It’s also a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.

We're interested to hear what ANZAC Day means to you and your whānau, and about any special traditions you follow each year.

Perhaps you have a loved one who served? If you feel comfortable, we’d love for you to share their story here with us.
