Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A warning has been issued urging people not to collect or eat shellfish from the Raglan coastline due to high levels of paralytic shellfish toxins being detected.

The naturally occurring toxins can be poisonous to humans, leading to stomach upsets, paralysis, respiratory failure and, in severe cases, death.

Have you heard about this public health warning?

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Tenants trash home, spray graffiti inside and outside

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton landlord has been awarded thousands of dollars after tenants left a rental property riddled with graffiti, damage and piles of abandoned furniture, then failed to show up to their own Tenancy Tribunal hearing.

The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.
