Poll: Do you think the Easter Tuesday holiday should be dropped?

Rhonwyn Newson Reporter from North Harbour News

Parents across New Zealand have been thrown off by Easter Tuesday - an extra day off for state and integrated schools over the Easter holiday break.

Although the Tuesday after Easter Monday is not a public holiday, it was a school holiday this year, making Easter a five-day break from school.

Currently proposed Auckland Region Pest Management 10 year Plan wants to classify all cats as pests. If a cat is seen or trapped in a Council managed Park, they will shoot it!

If a cat is seen or trapped in a Council managed Park, they will shoot it! They say they'll check for a microchip, (they haven't in the past,) but over 15,000 microchips will fail (Virbac.) That is too unreliable when a cat's life depends on it. PLEASE join the march on Wed. 28 March. Meet 11am. outside Civic Theatre, Queen St. Bring friends and a placard if you can.
