wheel chair friendly social club

Debi from Hamilton East

Hi. Doug here. Debi's partner. She has been my care giver for some 3 and a half years now since my leg amputations that have not resolved themselves into prosthetics. I had a brilliant meet with a good mate Steve today and between us we came up with a plan. I have been trying to find a social club for wheel chair people like myself here in Hamilton but it doesn't exist. So I want to invent that. Not just for myself and Debi but for other people in my situation and the people that care for them. Prince Harry gave me the inspiration with his Invictus Games and I would love to field a NZ team for that but small steps first. If anyone is interested or would like to support this idea I would be happy to hear from you. Come the New Year we could make a difference. Happy holidays. Doug

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.
