For weeks, an ailing pipe issue at the rear of the pensioner’s 1960s state house has left a mix of sewage and soap scum from backed up pipes bubbling into her backyard in the height of summer.
While Kāinga Ora says work is underway to address the issue, Tamaki has had weeks of a lingering stench and keeping her four-year-old great-grandson, Manawa, who lives with her, out of the backyard.

The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund was kickstarted by a significant donation by Dianne and Selwyn June in 2021, and then boosted by a donation from the estate of the late John and Bunny Mortimer, who established the Taitua Arboretum.
The new Conservation Fund welcomes public donations that will grow the ongoing investment income it uses to support conservation work by voluntary groups and landowners.
“From what we’ve seen, it is the small things that need reliable funding. For instance, they might need to buy some bait stations, perhaps send some attendees on a first aid course, or buy safety gear” says Dianne.
