From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:
- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.
We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.

so
I dived on in
However my feet could
not
Touch the bottom
In over my head I
reached
For the surface
Only to discover floating discarded
shards
Of needles and bottles
I struggled alone with you for
help
shoveling up the pieces
piling high in the corner
like
a pile of discarded clothes
Once worn through were signs of a
struggle
that fought to get free of you
The choir of friends that sang of your
downfall
were too loud to hear your battle
There is no more color to add to the
pallor
Which has none to share
What were friends are no
longer
On a path of shared despair
Take the cup and fill it to
half
the pool that appeared shallow is now
full
in knowing that we are through

Denise Lee holds the 34th spot on National's list, which means she's out of Parliament because National only has 33 seats now. If you live in One Tree Hill, that means Priyanca Radhakrishnan is now your local MP.
Hi neighbours, Green MP Chloe Swarbrick has officially won the Auckland Central seat after doubling her margin in the special votes. She said her top priorities as an electorate MP would be introducing a plan to end homelessness and protecting the Hauraki Gulf.

The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.
Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.
Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.
The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.
