Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

1 in 5 New Zealanders are going hungry. FairFood needs donations to distribute unsold, unused, but perfectly good supermarket food, to feed them instead of letting supermarkets throw it out.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below.

(It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

The Prime Minister is being sued over the lockdown, with two applicants making multiple claims at the High Court in Auckland today – including it being "all for her political gain".

The two men, who are known to each other, argued the alert level 4 lockdown has left them unlawfully detained and is not worth the economic cost compared with the low number of Covid-19 related deaths. The pair have interim name suppression after citing death threats and safety risks. The first applicant, who is currently serving a home detention sentence, told Justice Mary Peters "the whole thing's a joke" and it has become a "panic-demic, not a pandemic" – noting his sentence allows him to leave the house between 8am and 5pm each day. He said Ardern had no grounds to enact the lockdown. He also alleged she had conspired with Sir Stephen Tindall to ruin the economy and the United Nations Secretary-General should have been consulted instead. The man ultimately compared Ardern to Hitler and the lockdown to the holocaust.
"I don't want my democratic rights to live in a society taken away on a whim." The man said the nine Covid-19 related deaths that had been confirmed at the time showed the lockdown was not in line with one modelling scenario that predicted up to 80,000 deaths in New Zealand. He alleged his views were shared by "a large portion" of the population and said the Crown must have been aware the lockdown would be legally challenged "or thought New Zealand were sheep". The man objected to Justice Peters' question to substitute Ardern for Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield, who enacted the lockdown order. "This is really the Ardern show," the man said. "Ardern has cried wolf and been found out," he said. The other applicant alleged more people would now die from other illnesses, like cancer, because they will not be able to get diagnosed due to hospital resources being focused on the fight against Covid-19. "The Prime Minister made the wrong decision … all for her political gain", he said. Crown lawyer Austin Powell, who was virtually representing Ardern, said there were significant limits on the freedom of movement for everyone, but the restrictions did not amount to detention. He said there were no limitations to stay a specific distance from one's home or requirements to report on movements.
Powell said Bloomfield had done what the law required of him. He argued against the first applicant's claim the wording of the Health Act should limit the lockdown to certain persons. "The law allows [Bloomfield] to impose those limits on persons – so it can include all persons." Justice Peters reserved her decision, but said it would be given urgency.
