FOUND - **R.I.P** Has anyone lost a ginger tabby kitten Waihi Road, Tauranga area?
At 9.15am today I saw a ginger tabby kitten hit by a car in front of 275 Waihi Road, Tauranga. Unfortunately, it has passed. I have knocked on at least 20 surrounding properties to locate the owner. I have taken the kitten to Tauranga Vets, Cameron Road, Tauranga to see if it was microchipped. It is not. The kitten is approx 10 weeks old and is a male. No collar. They will keep the kitten there for 2 weeks until I hopefully can locate the owner. I am desperate to find the owner. I am a cat lover and owner and I lovingly cared for this beautiful kitten after it had passed.

Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
