Hi Neighbours, Hundreds of low-paid cleaners and security staff who work at council-facilities, but through contractors, had hoped they would be paid the Living Wage this year. Should Council budget cuts delay that? Read the story below:

Lioness - The Gym For Women's Facebook page, located in Highland Park, features a lengthy post from gym management outlining what happened. "The 2 ladies from UK that are Covid-19 confirmed are friends with one of our members. "Our member was in contact with the 2 girls last Saturday. The member of our Gym did not know that the girls were positive until yesterday afternoon when she has called me straight away. "On Saturday she loaned the car to the 2 girls to drive down to Wellington for the funeral. Initially the car was dropped to the hotel, however apparently the 2 girls got lost and my member had to meet with them to give them instructions. "As soon as the 2 girls arrived to Wellington they have been asked to get tested again and yesterday morning the results came positive. "Since Saturday, after her contact with the 2 girls, our gym member did not visit the facility until yesterday morning when she came for her training session with myself and stayed back for our group classes. "Fortunate enough we still have the 2m mark down in our class studio, however my training sessions was hands on," the post reads. It goes on to say that after many phone calls to the Ministry of Health with differing advice, the gym owner was told she didn't have to be tested for Covid-19 until the results came back from the gym member who attended the class there, nor stop her daily routine.
However, the gym owner decided to shut down the facility until the all clear has been given and self-isolate rather than risk it. It comes as the Ministry of Health confirmed the two women had in fact had two close contacts on their drive down to Wellington, when the Government had previously said they did not. "Upon leaving the Novotel in a private vehicle provided by friends, the women got lost on the Auckland motorway system," the Ministry of Health said in a statement. "On realising this they phoned the same friends who supplied the vehicle, who met and guided them to the correct motorway so they could go in the right direction. As part of this the pair were in limited physical contact with the two friends for approximately five minutes. "These two people have been contacted by local health authorities for a health check. Both had already had a test for Covid-19 once they heard of the positive results and are in self isolation." National MP alleges two women who tested positive for Covid-19 had close contacts on drive from Auckland to Wellington. Michael Woodhouse says the women gave “Good Samaritans” a hug and a kiss when they helped with directions. "It is important to remember that the two women were distressed at the time by the sudden death of their family member. "It is not uncommon for information and details to evolve, including details being missed during case interviews and contact tracing where there is heightened emotion, intense grief and stress. "The information was gathered as part of a second interview conducted by the local public health unit on Tuesday evening and subsequent interviews on Wednesday. "This information was communicated to the Ministry of Health on the afternoon of Wednesday 17 June."

Mr Bridges’ preferred PM result dropped six percentage points to 5 per cent, and his approval rating also fell to -40. Mr Muller's victory came after an emergency caucus meeting today, where MPs were brought back to Wellington to make the vote. The National Party website crashed during the meeting. Nikki Kaye has been elected Deputy Leader, replacing Paula Bennett. When Mr Muller arrived at Parliament this morning, he told journalists he was “feeling very excited", calling it “a momentous day for the National Party”. Mr Muller, who grew up in Te Puna, Bay of Plenty, was a former staffer to then-PM Jim Bolger in 1996, entering Parliament as an MP in 2014. He sat at National MP rank 16, and was spokesperson for agriculture, biosecurity, food safety and forestry. The 51-year-old worked as general manager for Zespri and was group director of corporate affairs for Fonterra. Mr Muller, an avid US politics fan who has described himself previously to the Bay of Plenty Times as an “American politics tragic”, was on the receiving end of the infamous ‘OK, boomer’ quip by Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick last year. Tauranga MP Simon Bridges took over from former PM Sir Bill English in early 2018. When he was running for leader in 2018, he told he wanted his legacy if he were to become Prime Minister “to ensure New Zealand is a growing, dynamic, exciting place in the 2020s where people have opportunities”. “I would like people to look back and be glad about the kind of New Zealand we have created together.” “When I was a teen I liked to read about politics and got involved in the 1993 election and have never looked back, I believed then and still do in the values of the National Party,” he said at the time.

She loves people and is extremely affectionate. She has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and is in good health. She needs a home.
Mabel was abandoned by one of our neighbours when he moved back to Australia just before lockdown. She was malnourished and neglected. We took her to the vet to have her spayed etc and have been feeding her over lockdown, but cannot keep her.
We have let Mabel inside from time to time, and she is not litter trained. She needs someone who is prepared to train her and give her lots of love. Please message me if you are interested in giving Mabel a home or want to find out more. If you're interested, you are very welcome to come and meet Mabel before deciding.
Thank you,
Esther
