After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

I have kept this up every day since then and now have 2252 original works available to anyone interested in this subject. My first book, 'To Insanity And Beyond' by t.j.hurford was published by Audio Arcadia in the U.K.. (couldn't find an NZ publisher/agent), is available on both Lulu and Amazon or through the publisher. My poem today is about a failing nation, but my work covers many subjects from aliens/sci fi to romance and war themes, humour and religion. I am heavily influenced by the English classicists, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Milton et al. and Rudyard Kipling as well as 'Carry On films' etc.. Please take a look. I also write short stories at oswald'slamppost...

Howdy folks, Paul from Adult Learning Support here.

Do you need help to find a job? We're running a course called Work Fit that might be just what you need.

This free 10 week course will give you the skills you need to get a job. You’ll identify your skills. Write a cover letter and CV. Apply for jobs online. Practise interviews. All with a supportive group of coursemates at your back.

It’s for you if:
• you're just coming out of school and don’t know what skills you have
• you’ve had enough of working a hard physical job
• you’re coming back to work after being a full-time mum.

It starts on 31 July, and runs 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 10am to 2pm.

The classes are small, which mean you get the support you need to make real progress.

If this sounds like you, get in touch with Elise!
