Why has Auckland Council consistently voted against controlling emissions from woodburners and open fireplaces? On cold, still days like today many parts of Auckland are blanketed in a layer of smoke. Particulates from woodburner pollution carry carcinogens, cause respiratory problems and decreased life expectancy. This is all well known to the Council yet they continue to allow uncontrolled indoor burning. Christchurch has had a no visible smoke rule for years. It is time Auckland Council got serious about controlling emissions and stopped giving residents a licence to pollute.

Police give green-light to large church services and places of worship allowed to open again, contradicting PM's stance

We can reveal the new guidelines issued by police today would potentially allow dozens to attend a service at any one time. It contradicts the position taken by the Government - and reiterated by the Prime Minister - that a maximum cap of 10 people remains. However, police say if the venue size allows, multiple groups of 10 could be present at a religious service so long as each group remained two metres apart. Appropriate contact tracing would also need to be kept.
“There is no longer a direction for all premises to close. The community is able to resume various day-to-day activities. Places of worship may now open. “This assumes that people involved do comply at all times with the distancing restrictions and don’t, for example, mingle more widely at the end of a service,” the guidelines say. Police were forced to clarify the rules after questions were raised regarding its internal guidelines issued last week. It suggested places of worship would likely be viewed as “event facilities”, therefore allowing up to 100 attendees while suggesting refreshments to followers after a service would also be permitted. Earlier this week National Party MP Simeon Brown called for greater clarity. “I am calling on the Government to clarify this matter urgently…I am also calling on the Government to release any internal police guidance on these matters. “Kiwis have the right to know how tough restrictions imposed by Government are going to be interpreted and enforced,” he said. The Prime Minister responded on Monday, insisting Crown Law advice on religious services was clear and reiterated a cap of 10. “Crown Law considered that religious services fall under the definition of gatherings…so obviously that’s where I look to,” Jacinda Ardern said. In its guidance today, police urged officers to use “discretion and common sense” when attending a place of worship in an operational capacity.

“We need to remember that faith is a very important aspect of many New Zealanders' lives and therefore need to be treated using high levels of empathy and sensitivity.”
