NZSL Week May 6th to 12th 2019

Jean from Tauwhare

Did you our second official language except for English in NZ?
The first language is Māori
The second language is NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language)
Lastly language in some area in the Government is English.
This is correct as a deaf linguist.

Did you notice anything different on social media lately through the breaking news, in the Parliament Debate etc in New Zealand?
An NZSL interpreter signing for the Deaf, deaf and Hard of Hearing people and children around NZ. Note we don't use the word 'hearing impaired' anymore through medical, GP, even to label people/children and elderly people who have hearing loss.

Do you want to learn to do sign language for fun, to communicate with your family member, friends even your neighbour like me living in Eureka?

May 6th to 12th 2019.

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.
