Hi Everyone

We have just switched power companies to Electric Kiwi. If you are thinking about doing the same they have a referral system where you get $50 off your first bill and so do I. So, private message me if you would like the discount when you join.

Just a little bit about the company. Electric Kiwi give you an hour of free power everyday and they guarantee they will be cheaper than you current power company in the first year. We also received a free magazine subscription (you would need to check if that's still going). Google them for more information.


Best wishes

Deceased Cat - Awatea Rd / The Runway

Lisa from Wigram

A cat was hit by a taxi on Thursday evening. Unfortunately it passed instantly, although thankfully it wouldn't have suffered. I took the cat to the after hours vet but the cat didn't have a microchip. The vet believed it was a spayed female, it was black but with a distinctive white mark… View moreA cat was hit by a taxi on Thursday evening. Unfortunately it passed instantly, although thankfully it wouldn't have suffered. I took the cat to the after hours vet but the cat didn't have a microchip. The vet believed it was a spayed female, it was black but with a distinctive white mark between its back legs. It was quite a large cat with a heavy build. It was hit at the intersection of Awatea Rd and The Runway. The cat will be held at the SPCA for 7 days so I desperately want to find the owner. If you know of anyone in the Wigram area that is missing a black cat please let me know. I have a photo but won't post, I can send privately if requested.

Dr Lance O'Sullivan: It was when my daughter got sick that I realised how important immunisation is

Reporter Sunday Star Times

Dr Lance O'Sullivan writes from the heart, and from the head: "It was 1996 and we were young parents. I was at medical school when I came upon an anti-immunisation pamphlet left in one of our lecture theatres.

Dr Lance O'Sullivan writes from the heart, and from the head: "It was 1996 and we were young parents. I was at medical school when I came upon an anti-immunisation pamphlet left in one of our lecture theatres.

"I was suspicious of the establishment at the time. You need to understand, I had grown up a welfare-dependent "half-caste" (I hate that term) boy living with his mother, escaping from a life of alcohol, crime and a level of violence that I would not tolerate for my daughters. An under-achiever, I was expelled from two secondary schools. I feel I had a reason to be angry at "the system".

"Then I became a father. It changed my life. I needed to be a responsible adult caring for a son, then a daughter – eventually seven children. We were young parents and wanted to do only the best for these precious beings.

"I read the pamphlet. It described "studies" in the Netherlands into communities that didn't look like mine, but I took little persuasion. I stated our second child, our little daughter Te Miringa, would not be immunised.

"At the time my wife Tracy was working as a nurse at the local medical centre and immunising children daily. Yet this was my protest against the establishment that I so mistrusted.

"Fifteen months later, we had a scare. Te Miringa became unwell with high fever and a body rash and the doctors were concerned as there was a measles outbreak locally. And I realised the information from the Netherlands did not reflect my reality.

"We got Te Miringa immunised."
