I wrote and complained last time we were sent one several months ago complaining. Many Canterbury rate payers are already struggling with the HIGH rates. Ours has already hit the rubbish bin.

The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

Ngāi Tahu is an iwi whose rohe (area) extends over most of the South Island. In the 1840s, the Crown made a number of large purchases of Ngāi Tahu land. But in the end, the Crown deceived Ngāi Tahu - leaving them landless and impoverished...

Find out more about what happened to Ngāi Tahu, where you live, and how much the land was settled for - it may surprise.

Managed to get it to come upto me after giving it treats, didn’t take photos prior to it feeding but was really skinny waist was sucked in and is very light weight for size of it. Unsure on sex, if male it is neutered if female then I’m unsure. Is quite skidderish from people, and won’t hang around when my partner nears us. Will be asking neighbours tomorrow if it is there’s and then getting it checked for chip. If no one claims i will be taking it into care myself instead

Update: Cat has been reunited with owner 😊
