New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

Mōrena and Good Morning

I'd like to offer my services as a tutor for anyone seeking support for NCEA levels 1, 2 or 3 maths (including calculus), physics, or tertiary level engineering papers.

I'm Wellington born and raised - I attended Wellington College and obtained NCEA levels 1, 2 and 3 with overall excellence endorsement. I was a prefect in my final year at Wellington College. In 2017 I shifted to Christchurch where I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering with First-Class honours in Civil Engineering, from the University of Canterbury (UC), graduating in 2020.

For three of my four years at UC I tutored local high school students in maths and science, through a holiday programme organised by UC's 'Pasifika Organisation.' I also tutored an engineering first year maths paper and a second year civil engineering fluid dynamics and hydraulics paper. I'm currently tutoring a NCEA level 2 student in physics and supporting a university student with their engineering diploma.

I currently live in Northland, Wellington, with my family - my twin brother who is a police constable on the frontline and mother who is a principal advisor for a not-for-profit organisation. I work for 'Aurecon NZ' as a Civil Engineer, we're based in the Spark building on Willis Street.

I relish the opportunity to support others' education because it brings me much happiness and meaning seeing someone grow in both technical skillset and confidence. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you, and/or someone you love needs a bit of extra help with their study.

My contact details are as follows:

Binka is a guinea pig in a laboratory cage. Paul is the lab assistant who looks after her. Both just want to be happy again.

Humour and pathos collide in this blackly funny odyssey starring acting greats Jennifer Ludlam (as the guinea pig) and Joel Tobeck (as the lab technician).
