Both takahe pairs on Tiritiri Matangi Island have hatched chicks.

Anatori and Tussie have welcomed two chicks to the world while Edge and Turutu have one new baby at the Hauraki Gulf predator free island.

The chicks seem to be thriving but the first few months prove the most risky for chick survival.

Tiritiri Matangi Island provides a safe haven for the breeding pairs, who are helping to grow the takahē population, with the current population less than 450.

Young birds produced on the island will join the takahē breeding programme or will be released into the wild.

The Cancer Society is pleased new vaping laws will finally put an end to the marketing of highly addictive products to children and non-smokers.

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:

- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.

We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.

Students have successfully lobbied the transport agency to reduce speed outside Kaukapakapa School.

Nearly 5000 vehicles, including milk and logging trucks drive past the school on State Highway 16 every day.

Five per cent are heavy vehicles and Waka Kotahi traffic data indicates that mean operating speeds are higher than the posted speed limit.

Worried about their safety, 50 students wrote submissions to the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency calling for a variable speed limit by their school, in north west Auckland.

The agency responded by setting a variable restriction, lowering the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h during peak school traffic times.

Do you have any safety concerns about traffic outside other Auckland schools?

What are they?
