Asbestos found at Oratia District School
Kia ora neighbours, asbestos has been found in the grounds of Oratia District School, and almost a year later, it is yet to be removed.
The asbestos was detected, along with concentrations of lead, mercury and arsenic, in soil at the school more than eight months ago.
Since August 2022, orange safety mesh has been placed around part of the school field to keep students away from the contaminated zone.
Leo Foley, who has two children at the school, and was on the board of trustees in 2022, said he is increasingly worried the issue hasn’t been fixed.
“The area has been cordoned off, but I’ve witnessed multiple children playing there as it’s very easy to get around.”

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
