Do you think golliwogs should be sold at local markets?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Kerikeri's Old Packhouse Market will no longer have golliwogs for sale, after complaints the dolls are a racist stereotype of black people. But some people say the dolls are a harmless reminder of childhood. What do you think?

Te Tohu Toi Tangata - Bachelor of Humanities

Meet Christina Nuku who graduated with majors in Indigenous Studies and Policy. Through Awanuiārangi, Christina experienced a 3-month exchange programme at the University of Northern British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She shares “the exchange connected me with the Nisga’a people, First Nations tribal systems, communities and hauora programmes. It informed my studies and opened my mind. It was a genuine privilege to connect with the tangata whenua there, and an opportunity I would never otherwise have had”

“The difference at Awanuiārangi is the whanaungatanga. Our kaiako cultivated a supportive and nurturing environment”.

Rodents can cause considerable damage to homes and risk to our health. It makes sense to keep them out of your home or workplace.
Proof your building - Rats & Mice can fit through small gaps. Check around your building for gaps particularly around pipe-work. Seal any gaps & attach draft excluders to doors. Check for overhanging foliage - Rats often climb trees & drop down onto the roof & enter under the edge of the roof.

Baits & Traps – Bait is the most effective & efficient way to deal with infestations. Make sure you use secure bait stations to keep pets and children safe. Traps are also useful, although rats and mice can become trap shy. They are safe and effective when used in conjunction with baits. Bait traps with peanut butter or chocolate. Place the traps against walls and behind furniture where rodents travel.

Don’t want to DIY – Call 0800 PESTWORX | 0800 73 78 96 | 09 407 7389 | info@pestworx.co.nz | www.pestworx.co.nz...

Poll: Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
