DECEASED DOG WHATAWHATA

Summa from Frankton

*POSTING ON BEHALF*
Im really sorry this isn’t the nicest thing to see
But all I want is this poor darling to be reunited with its owners, so I thought I’d share on here in case anyone knows where she may be from

“🌹My friend is driving her home to his farm near Raglan to bury her shame on the council because she was 200 metres out of their zone. I've scanned her again taken her collar off picked her flowers she's large and had puppies in the past my friend will give her a dignified burial 😔awful sad situation she's beautiful 😢😥💔

I'm with the dog that's passed away on Whatawata Road found her, female looks bull mastiff or De Bordeaux looking I've scanned her no chip. Pulled her out of the drain pretty disgusted with animal control told me NZTA job I said she's been here for one week so I've read. She's large red collar. My friends put her on ute we are driving her to Afterhours vets in hope they will hold her. Animal control told me they won't accept her as she's on statehighway even after I said I'd drive her there 😥”

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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.
