Waiheke protector injured after being 'rammed' by marina developer's boat

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

A protector at the Kennedy Point marina site was left with a sprained neck and wrist after construction crew “rammed” her with their boat while she was protesting in the water.

Tensions have been escalating on Waiheke Island since construction started gathering pace a few weeks ago.

The developer, Kennedy Point Marina, confirmed it is reviewing the incident, and said protesters had “deliberately putting themselves into the path” of the vessel.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
