Dame Catherine Tizard has died.

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

The staff and executive governance board of Manukau East Council Social Services (MECOSS), were saddened to learn Dame Catherine Tizard has died. Sincere condolences go to her daughter Judith Tizard and family on the loss of a truly remarkable New Zealander.
For many years Dame Cath was an enthusiastic supporter of the annual MECOSS Race Relations Day held at Pakuranga Plaza and we thank her for that. Her intellect and warm personality always shone through at these special events. She will be greatly missed. Tēnā koa koa ki aku mihi.

accommodation in Wellington

Stephen from Half Moon Bay

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Wellington for work and looking for a place from 16 February 2026. I’m 22 and starting a full-time role as a young graduate professional in IT/Data Science in the CBD.
I’m tidy, respectful, quiet, non-smoker, and like keeping my space clean. Outside of work I enjoy music and photography, but I do keep things quiet at home. I don’t have a car, so good bus access or train to the CBD is important.

What I’m after:
-Prefer living alone (studio/bedsit) but open to a quiet flat with other Asians too
- Easy bus access or walking distance to the CBD
- Furnished
- Close to a supermarket
- Long-term
- Budget up to $400/week
- Move in early Jan or early Feb 2026
Just checking if you know any places
Thank you
Regards, Reuben
