What do you think the police spend on petrol?

Libby Totton Reporter from Matamata Chronicle

The price of keeping the thin blue line strong is mounting at the petrol pump as the force looks to move away from fossil fuels.

Five years ago in the 2018/19 financial year, police spent $14,860,116 to purchase 9,492,945 litres of fuel, whereas in 2022/23 they spent $2.5 million more and got 773,079 litres less.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
