Be the front-line point of contact for thousands of boaties
Looking to help save lives at sea? If you want to help keep boaties safe on the water (and whether or not you're a boatie yourself), consider a role with the highly professional Operations Centre team as a volunteer Radio Operator.
Coastguard is the charity saving lives at sea, and is almost entirely staffed by over 2,000 dedicated volunteers from communities across the country. Last year the Operations Centre in Mechanics Bay logged 114,738 VHF radio calls from boaties making trip reports, kept watch on over 17,805 bar crossings, and coordinated search and rescue responses to bring 5,407 boaties back home to safety.
By becoming a volunteer, you can be part of a close-knit team dedicated to saving lives at sea. Your contribution may one day save the life of a boatie in need.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Hey Pakeha - are you gonna let Seymour talk for you
Govt is elected to
1) provide goods and services that one person can not on their own. Eg Hospitals / Police. Govt is not to change our Agreement / History Treaty of Waitangi because some minor party of a coalition (wannabe control freak) says so.
2) Wrong Chris needs to do (at the first bill reading, not second) what the people want, not what Seymour wants!!!!!!!!!! Upsetting the apple cart Seymour v 52,000. Loser Seymour!!!!!!!!
