Last week Aiden Sayer, 21, who was almost killed in a workplace accident earlier this year, was languishing on a public waiting list for a bladder stone procedure that ACC should have covered.
His urologist argued that the bladder stone was caused by having to endure a catheter for a month following his February accident. ACC said no, but after persistent lobbying and a story on Stuff last week, the corporation has changed its mind.
Following ACC acceptance, his urologist has quickly arranged for a procedure to be carried out in a private medical facility next Tuesday.
“I’ll be able to do more hours of work ... I’ll be able to work on my car, be able to go out with friends, return to a normal life. I couldn’t do that before because of my stone,” Sayer said.
Wellington Electricity have advised there is a power outage affecting much of the central city.
We are arranging for a temporary power supply to the location.
Please take care and we will share updates as they come.

A while ago I put out a message that got a few people keen about getting their polystyrene waste collected and recycled. The previous post is archived so I have to create this new post.
The company that I was in talks with have now set up their new premises in Porirua, and are ready to take the collections now, they are just in the final stages of taking over the old Poly Palace site at Spicer Landfill.
I'm looking at going there on Monday morning, so if I can arrange some collections this weekend and make it worth the effort, that would be great.
I put out a link to a Google Spreadsheet for interested people to put their details in, and I'll get in touch with those people.
If you never saw this last time, then the link to the spreadsheet is:
docs.google.com...
There is a cost involved - $35 / cubic meter. I'm guessing that a bootload would be about a cubic meter so I'll go by that. So whoever wishes to get rid of their poly waste, I'll be requesting a donation, depending on how much you have.
Please fill out your details into the spreadsheet, or if you don't want to do that, give me your email address here or by private message.
If it works out then I could look at doing it more regularly.

"We would like to thank everyone for their hard work complying with these measures on board our services for the last few weeks. This has been made possible by the your continued support for wearing face coverings on board public transport, which has made our services safer for both passengers and staff."
The Government still expects all New Zealanders to wear face coverings on public transport with exemptions only for school services, children under 12 years old, and passengers with disability and health concerns. Passengers should continue to follow the Government’s level 2 advice which includes logging their journeys using QR codes and the COVID-19 app, practicing good personal hygiene by washing and sanitising their hands before and after travelling, sneezing and coughing into their elbows and avoiding public transport completely if they are sick. Passengers can keep up to date with the Government’s latest alert level 2 measures on public transport through Metlink's social media, website and app.

Petbus is Karyn McLauchlan’s solution to New Zealand’s impersonal and stressful pet transport options. McLauchlan used to be a dog breeder, and had a terrible experience transporting puppies by airline in 2004, with two puppies dying on the journey to Wellington.
Her solution was to deliver pets herself using a bus. The most unusual thing she has delivered is an ant farm but she has also moved peacocks, spiders and geese.

Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is calling for the public submissions on the library’s heritage status, while Wellington City Council simultaneously considers the future of the building after it closed in March 2019 due to seismic concerns. Opened in 1991, the library, designed by Athfield Architects, was the centrepiece of Te Ngākau Civic Square.
Heritage New Zealand’s central region director Jamie Jacobs said heritage listing does not mean the building would be protected, and that decision would remain with the city council.
