Global warming.

Roger from South Waikato District

We hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) … View more
We hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) places them directly above the drain, on the grass berm.
A slight breeze or rain sees this debris back in the drain again.
I can only assume the contractor has a relation on the local council.
The council has been made aware of this situation,but considering what else has been a total stuff up in this town I must admit this is insignificant.

Poll: Should former defence force interpreters get the same access to care that Kiwi veterans do?

Hi neighbours,
Former Afghan interpreters in New Zealand are struggling to cope with the after-effects of war.

Hi neighbours,
Former Afghan interpreters in New Zealand are struggling to cope with the after-effects of war.
While nightmares and panic attacks keep some from sleeping, others rely on alcohol to put themselves to sleep.
These former Afghan interpreters, awarded medals for serving with Kiwi troops, are desperate for support, but they don't qualify as Kiwi veterans and can therefore not access funded counselling and medicines.

So we want to know, should former defence force interpreters get the same access to care that Kiwi veterans do?

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.
