Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.
Earlier this year, young people were asked to share their experience of COVID-19. The Graeme Dingle Foundation wanted to give them an opportunity to share their story and show the ways in which they had faced the challenges of COVID-19 and the restrictions on their lives.

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.
Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.
My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.
Hi the house is in Maunu with a bush at the back of a 100sqm deck and a farm where you are allowed to go for walks. It's not far from town and at the end of a cul de sac. We get all sorts of different bush birds at different times and it is very peaceful and private.

It's not far from town and at the end of a cul de sac. We get all sorts of different bush birds at different times and it is very peaceful and private.
I am seeking a female boarder/flatmate for either a short or long-term stay.
You have a choice of bedroom 1 at $175pw or bedroom 2 also has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite at the opposite end of the house, with a lovely garden&bush view out the window for only an extra $20pw. There is also a dove who frequents near the window as I feed it seeds and in the garden, the magnolia is starting to flower.
Unlimited internet is included, as is water rates. Share power and do your own food. Not suitable for night shift workers, sorry.
Phone or text 027 5141 394 to find out more or you can just come and meet me and take a look. :-) Cheers, Jo
