Government Caught Out

Michael from Trentham

Has the NZ Government been caught out telling a porky surrounding the Covid vaccination saga?

Chris Hipkins (Minister for Covid 19 Response) said today that the Government is now telling people to get a second vaccination three weeks after the first instead of a six week gap because there is now sufficient vaccine available and a three week gap lessons further the possibility of becoming infected with Covid and Delta Covid.

Hold on.

Originally it was a three week gap between the initial vaccination and the booster vaccination until Jacinda Ardern and her Government told us that four, five and six weeks is better than three because it makes the vaccine in our bodies more effective.

Now Chris is saying something quite different.

Stand up the truth.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
