Meet Tiaki, kaitiaki of the ngahere, our kauri hero dog

The Team from Pest Free Kaipātiki Restoration Society (Inc.)

He always stays on track and will soon be visiting a reserve near you. We can't wait to for you to meet him.

Tiaki means 'to care for' and we thought it is the perfect name!
Keep an eye out once alert levels allow as we have exciting plans for Tiaki.🐕🌳

Congratulations to Davina Dean and Karea Sutherland Âû, the winners of the naming competition. They both proposed the name Kaitiaki, which is very close. Please send us a DM so we can organise prizes.

Thanks Chris Hannent for his volunteer design work bringing our kauri hero and their kurī to life, and Auckland Council and their Auckland Biosecurity team for their ongoing support.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
