Flood warnings for Auckland + Northland this weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

MetService is monitoring a weather system that may coincide with king tides expected over the weekend. This will cause flooding in low-lying coastal areas, particularly around the high-tides on Sunday.

There is also the possibility of a deep low moving southeastwards over the upper North Island during Sunday, delivering severe gale easterlies to exposed parts of the area.

- People are advised to keep up to date with the latest MetService forecasts in case some parts of this Watch are upgraded to a full weather warning, or other areas are added.
- Take extra precautions along the coast, consider your travel routes and never drive through floodwaters.
- Auckland Emergency Managment warned travellers to take extra precautions along the coast, consider travel routes and to never drive through floodwaters.
- Read more about the impending weather here.

Note, King tides and large northeast swell are forecast during this time. The combination of strong easterly winds and lowering air pressures associated with such a deep low could cause an inundation to coasts exposed to the north and east.

IRD and MBIE staff strike for higher pay

Brian from New Lynn

The protesters started making noise at 1.15pm at the intersection of Queen and Victoria Sts, chanting that "we want fair pay and we want it now".

PSA assistant secretary Basil Prestidge said "We are protesting here trying to get a fair deal with IRD and MBIE". "Wage rates have been suppressed and held down relative to other agencies. Even people doing the same jobs get different rates of pay."They have got a rate for the job which is too low and people aren't even getting paid that rate." The number protesting at three points of the intersection has swelled to about 120 as more members arrive for the two-hour strike. They are making a racket, hitting protest signs with sticks and blowing whistles.
Last month PSA claimed that Inland Revenue's IT system could not process the new Best Start tax credit which kicks in next week as part of the Government's Families Package and it would have to be done manually. PSA national secretary Erin Polaczuk said last month that members took their jobs very seriously and they're trying desperately to keep the system on track while IR presses ahead with its Business Transformation project which will see 1 in 3 staff let go by 2021.
"It starts on 1 July, and members are told they will have to process this manually, drastically increasing their workload.
