Mobile vaccination buses will be rolled out in Auckland from Thursday, in the style of Mr Whippy ice cream vans.

A similar initiative was launched in Australia at the start of the month, and buses became known as “Jabba the Bus”.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has challenged the public to come up with a better name, but has ruled out “Busey McBusface”.

What do you think the vaccination buses should be called?

I've been filling 5.5kg honey buckets. The bees have foraged this areas in in the Puketi forest in the Far North. Great for doing lots of cooking or baking that requires plenty of honey! Buckets are food grade. Light coloured honey with lots of Towai in it. Mild taste.

I sell the 5.5kg buckets for $60.

Pickups not allowed during current alert level but I can still use the courier to deliver these for $6 within urban Auckland.

If you would like one, message me OR email Donbuckhoney@gmail.com OR just go straight to my website:

If you would like to pick one up after lockdown ends (from Massey), be in touch and I can put you on a wait list.

Thank-you!

Content and censorship.

I as just contacted by whoever runs Neighbourly and told my latest post would not be published because they didn't like a word I used.

The dictionary definition of the word used is "a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid". The word was used in a direct quote from the NZ Herald, it would appear then that is ok for MMS media to use it but not me. Funny really when Neighbourly is owned by Stuff, who promote themselves as champions of free speech.
