A member of the community has contacted me urgently as their folder was left on the green box in front of Z gas station and McDonald’s next to the Avondale Sunday markets. The folder comprises of many documents inside permanently fitted plastic pockets. At the back, held with small bulldog clip, are a few pages of petition forms. Some full with signatures and some blank.
This person went back and no folder to be seen anywhere. Nor had it been handed into the Z Station or McDonalds either.
They have reported their folder as lost property. Police Report Ref. No. 200113/5826.
This is a devastating loss for this member as it is a great deal of work down the drain and they are hoping for the safe and complete return of their black folder and all the signed petition forms. So if you have any information or know where this folder is, please let me know so I can help this lady ❤️ Thank you

I know Wendy personally, and I have known her for a number of years. This is highly unusual for her. Wendy hasn't been back to her flat since Monday.
Please, if you are a passenger in a car, out walking, or just people watching .... please... could you remember Wendy's face and scan for her. She isn't that steady on her feet and is known to use a walking frame or stick, when out and about.
She is DEAF so she won;t hear you calling her. If you see her, you will need to go to her face to face to check on her. Please call 111 and inform the Police immediately should you locate her, or know of her whereabouts.

Foreigners denied visitor visas here are automatically charged the levy, with some calling it theft.
Already close to a million dollars has been covertly collected in just six months. The levy is effectively a tax on tourists to help pay for tourism and conservation infrastructure improvements. But the problem is those who apply to come here as visitors but are turned down are also paying. The levy was introduced last July and figures obtained show in the first six months to December almost 285,000 thousand visitor visa applications were lodged with Immigration New Zealand but more than 24,000 of those were declined. Still, they were charged the $35.00 levy meaning the government pocketed more than $850,000 from people who'll never set foot on Kiwi soil.
Robyn Kurth and her group of friends attempted to bring out two Ethiopian guides to New Zealand as visitors but they were refused entry. She says the Government taking the fee from them amounts to theft. “So where's the $35.00? I want it back,” she says. “It can't be charged to people who are not coming here. How can we charge them if they're not actually going to use the facilities?” Immigration lawyer Ramya Sathiyanathan calls it deception. She says the online application is far from clear about the levy. “It's hidden, I presume quite intentionally in the online application form and it's only when you print a receipt you see it's been taken as part of the overall fee,” she says. The ministry says collecting the levy at time of application keeps admin costs down and confirms there is no provision for refunds. “What I think is important is that it's clear to people up front is that that fee is non-refundable and I think that's something that immigration New Zealand needs to deal with and i understand that they are.
