What you need to know:
- The lolly was in Rinda pineapple wrapping.
- It contained approximately 3g of methamphetamine, which is up to 300 regular doses.
- Consuming this much methamphetamine is extremely dangerous and could result in death.
- Ministry of Health are unsure how widespread these contaminated lollies are, so we recommend not eating them.
- It is understood the lolly was in a sealed package that was donated to the Auckland City Mission and that some lollies may have been distributed to people in food parcels.
- People who have consumed them reported an unpleasant chemical taste.
If you or someone you know has eaten one and feels unwell, call 111 immediately.
Symptoms might include:
• Chest pain
• A racing heart
• Seizures
• Hyperthermia
• Delirium
• Loss of consciousness

Thursday July 18th's showcase was the official launch of 35 specially curated digital stories plus 30 Pacific animated songs, demonstrating to our communities the exciting opportunities that the digital space provides to keep our histories, languages and cultures thriving into the future. A beautiful selection of 2D and 3D children's animations was woven together into a multilingual film, telling our Pasifika stories on the big screen. The collection showcased was co-created by PKL alongside local students, teachers, parents, community knowledge holders, elders and digital creatives.
Congratulations Evo Leota, Theresa Tupuola-Sorenson & Tatiana Marich and their amazing team of animators Elizabeth Kumaran (Liz), Herman Aviu, Carmel Adam, Tom Greentree for yet another job well done for the year and an awesome and successful showcase 👏🏽🙌🏽🎉

We first met Lilly when she joined us from Australia for the Samoa Business Network Business Trip in Samoa back in 2018. It was good to know that the connections she made then have helped her with her move and setting up her business in Samoa. She is now permanently based in Apia.

Great to be introduced and meet Simei Kolio who runs a business in Australia called KoKo Samoa and is in Samoa to explore opportunities to give back & utilise Samoan resources.
Isn’t it wonderful to see our people going back home to the islands to create opportunities, not only for themselves but for Samoa?
This gets us excited and gives us so much confidence in opening up a Hub and basing ourselves in Samoa. Because of these connections and also creating a space where we can all come together, work together and support one another
