A Dunedin property manager has backed down on a threat to publicly name tenants who complained to a student magazine about their flat.

"If they aren't wanting their names to be made public then they shouldn't be making public false accusations," Cutlers property management managing director Matt Cutler said in an email sent on Wednesday afternoon.

Cutler later released dozens of emails between his office and the tenants on Facebook, but stopped short of naming them "to avoid more drama than there needs to be".

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Authored by Christchurch physician Dr Phil Bagshaw and Dr Steven Ding, the audit found serious problems controlling bowel cancer and dysfunctional relationships between clinicians – an issue known to but unable to be resolved by senior management.
