We’re asking for New Zealanders’ views now, so we can take them into account right from the start of the process.

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Featuring the 'Zac Pack' and the 'Remutaka All Stars Dixieland Jazz Band' that took the Wellington Jazz festival by storm last year, it's an awesome way to celebrate summer in the Wairarapa and Valentines Day. The number of tickets available however is limited.
Your tickets can be purchased from the Cobblestones Museum shop Monday to Friday 10am - 4pm or 24/7 through Eventfinda.
The beauty is you don't have to bring a thing! We have it all covered as delicious food will be available for purchase. As this is a licensed event there is no B.Y.O. and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
