CAT LOVERS BEWARE ONE OF MY BELOVED CATS WAS POISONED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON FROM MY CAT ENCLOSURE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS SAFE

Michelle from Saint Andrews

yesterday late afternoon i found my young beloved de-sexed black and white large young male cat deliberately POISONED on my own property from his secure pet enclosure and he died a horrible and very agonizing painful death in my arms at 9PM last night, he had been healthy vibrant and full of life the night before so he went from a happy healthy cat to a dying dead cat in the flick of a finger, i'm trying to come to terms with his cruel and sudden death and i am wondering what kind of low life pre-historic neanderthal could stoop so low as to purposely take the life of a harmless beloved pet cat who was very much loved i am in saint andrews te rapa i am heartbroken and devastated that we can have such cruel low IQed sub-humans living freely in our society

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
