The party's drugs policy, launched by National leader Judith Collins in Hawke's Bay on Monday, includes a promised $50 million in contestable funding for community-based harm reduction programmes, and more drug dogs at airport and ports to stop drugs entering the country.
“We can either decide that we’re going to lose the war, or we’re going to decide to take it seriously,” Collins said.
“The use of this drug tears families apart, fuels violence, enriches criminals and destroys lives. We cannot tolerate the continued misery this drug causes, which leads to rising levels of violence and poverty, and widespread social harm.”

The Graeme Dingle Foundation is looking for a new partner to support its ongoing work to strengthen the mental resilience of youth in south Auckland.
Chief executive Jenny Stiles said the charitable organisation currently provides support to 1,317 low decile students in Papakura which is fundamental to ensuring their resilience and ability to deal with life’s challenges including the ongoing uncertainty created by COVID-19.
“We support a third of low decile schools in Papakura through the Foundation’s key programmes Kiwi Can and Stars, and the impact on youth and the community is profound,” he said.
“Pleasingly when we surveyed these schools, we found that 83 percent of students said that the Stars programme had helped them feel more confident about what they can achieve, and 80 percent of teachers said that Kiwi Can positively impacts student attitudes.”
But after four years partnering with Australian retailer Supre and their philanthropic arm, Supre Foundation, which delivered significant support enabling programmes to be implemented into Papakura schools, the Foundation is now looking for a new partner.
“Due to their funding having to come to an end, we are now hoping to secure a new partner who can continue to fund and support these programmes well into the future to help a new generation of students,” Stiles said.
Stiles notes that for every $1 invested in the Graeme Dingle Foundation’s programmes to empower New Zealand youth, there is an average $7.80 return to the New Zealand economy.

Consumer NZ spokesperson Jessica Wilson said the chain was prominently displaying its “Clubcard price” as the main price, while the regular price was in much smaller font and easier to miss.
Until recently, checkout operators could scan a temporary Clubcard for customers without one, which would allow all shoppers to access the loyalty scheme’s discounts. But that has since been stopped.
A Foodstuffs spokeswoman said it had removed temporary Clubcards from checkout counters after “lots of communication” with customers about the loyalty programme.
The spokeswoman disagreed with Consumer NZ’s claims and said it failed to point out that other retailers offered loyalty programmes.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a raft of temporary changes to NCEA for Auckland students, who have missed an extra two a half weeks of school compared to pupils in the rest of the country.
The changes build on the system of bonus credits previously announced for all students.
Auckland teenagers will now earn one bonus credit for every four credits they achieve, up to a maximum of 16 bonus credits at level 1, and 12 at levels 2 and 3.
In the rest of the country, students will get one credit for every five they earn, up to a maximum of 10 and eight.
Four thousand students will now be able to enrol in summer school through Te Kura Correspondence School. There is normally a cap of 1000 students.
Hi neighbours,

Boxes of rotten chicken, a cockroach infestation and an unclean shop has resulted in a $45,000 fine for an Auckland food retailer.
U & S Chand Investments, which operates Food 4 Less in Ōtāhuhu, was prosecuted by Auckland Council and pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the Food Act in the Manukau District Court in 2019.
A recently released decision from December said Auckland Council food safety officers first visited the supermarket on March 9, 2018 after receiving a complaint from a customer about unhygienic food storage conditions for meat.
During the inspection, the officers found the premises unclean, a heavy cockroach infestation, boxes of rotten chicken and meat, a “strong foul smell” from the boxes and unlabelled and uncovered food products.
There are literally thousands of daffodils here, where Ian Riddell has spent over 25 years in the business, from preparing the soil and planting bulbs to harvesting flowers and selling them.
