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?

Will you be striking for better pay in Auckland?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Will you be taking to the streets in your community to strike for better pay? The nurses union has "strongly rejected" a DHB pay and conditions offer and is seeking urgent mediation. That means strikes scheduled for July could still go ahead.

She was hit by a car on Monday and killed ,and our darling grandaughter is having difficulty coming to terms with her loss. i am her Poppa and have taken it on my self to try to find a replacement. The little girl she lost was so neat, she slept on Aleisha,s bed, licked her face and woke her up every morning, and was just part of the family! She was a small dog, a Maultese Terrier crossed with a Poppodom poodle. Aleisha has a 8 year old brother and a 6 year old sister so the replacement would become part of a lovely family in a new home in Matakatia Bay!
