We know some of you are facing threatening and potentially harmful times at home right now. Police will be there for you if you call us.

If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

One way to keep the tamariki busy is to help our Prime Minister create an Easter egg hunt for all the children in our CM Health rohe. All they have to do is colour it in or decorate it, and pop it in your window for other kids to find on their daily outing for exercise. If you don’t have a printer, go freestyle and draw your egg from scratch. The Prime Minister would love to see your creations so take a photo and email it to primeminister@parliament.govt.nz or share it on social media using the hashtag: #NZEggHunt

Weymouth Youth Prison Approved

The Environment Court has issued its final decision this week and has, I'm sorry to say, approved the Youth Prison at Whakatakapokai.

The Court has not mentioned any of the evidence or arguments put forward by the community in its decision... it has brushed us aside as if we don't matter.

Auckland Council told the Court that if the Court did approve the prison there would be a whole range of social effects that would not be addressed. However the Court has chosen to ignore this advice and simply agreed with the Minister's arguments and evidence.
An appeal is being considered. I will post more information in due course.
