Hi I'm Jelle. I'm standing for the Island Bay Residents Association committee and I would love your vote at the upcoming election.

I have lived in Island Bay for a bit over four years. I think that Island Bay is a great suburb with amazing people. I'm a 16-year-old currently attending Wellington High School. I'm also a paddler on the school's waka ama team and the lighting director at my school. I believe that I would bring a new perspective to the commitee as a young person. I would really like to see Island Bay have a stronger community atmosphere and give everyone an equal opportunity to voice their opinions and views. And I think that begins with the residents' association. For more than five years the cycleway has been a hot topic of debate amongst Island Bay residents, and I would like to see the association take a step back from cycleway-related debates.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Luke the Rabbit

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

"I was born in SPCA's care after my mum was left in a box on the steps of SPCA Levin. Now I am here at SPCA Wellington looking for a forever home and a second chance at happiness.
All I've known is life in SPCA's care and now my caregivers want to find me a home to call my own and where I can binky, run and play to my heart's content. I may not look like your average domestic rabbit (you can blame my dad's genes for that!), but I have a sweet personality that I'd love to share with my loving family! I would love a home with a female rabbit to be friends with. I will need a secure outdoor pen for daytime, and an indoor space for nighttime so I can be a part of the family."
