Have you been involved in a whale rescue?

Reporter Northern News

Patuharakeke kaumātua Pera Mackie said seeing the number of people gathered showed the aroha of the community, after four whales became stranded on Ruakākā Beach.

Sadly, the whales didn't survive, but have you ever been in a situation where you could help rescue whales?

Youth Tool Kete

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

Our new website for young people contains information about many of the key issues for youth embarking on those 'firsts' in adult life - starting tertiary study, getting a job, going flatting, buying a car, getting ID and more. The site is for helping young people know their rights and responsibilities, and for linking them to the CAB service when they need help from a real person. The CAB website is at youth.cab.org.nz....

Poll: Are Kiwis bad drivers?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Each country has its own idiosyncrasies when it comes to driving and New Zealand is no different.
With daily near-misses, people incorrectly indicating at roundabouts and a lack of stopping at stop signs, it begs the question: Are Kiwis actually not that good at driving?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
