Wanted: Maori/English dictionaries

Karen from Nawton

Hi does anyone have any Maori/English dictionaries for sale/free. Daughter learning Maori at uni this semester in readiness for her early childhood degree next year (4-6 years) in the hope of eventually being a hospital play specialist (she spent bulk of her childhood in/out of hospital and the specialists really helped her, so she wants to give back and help others). It's her 26th birthday 12th August and I'm trying to find her reasonably priced (0-$15 each depending on size/condition etc) and in reasonably good condition suitable Maori/English dictionaries. She is visually impaired so some may be required to be scanned in order to enable them to have larger font for her to read. Many thanks. I'm in the Dominion/Lloyd area. Other than her very loving mum she has the support of a wonderful caring partner (it was his birthday yesterday 'friday') as well as family and friends.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
