Poll: Do you support the petition?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A group fighting to end discrimination against home schooled students competing in secondary schools sports have launched a nation-wide appeal and will soon take their petition to parliament.

After two top young mountain bikers were denied their medals at recent secondary schools competitions, the Home Educators Student Sports Association (HESSA) is asking for a rule change.

The city's new mayor is setting out his plan

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is pledging to cut costs and avoid “gold plating” infrastructure as part of a new strategy to limit rates increases, but Mayor Tim Macindoe says central government support may be needed to meet a new national rates cap.
