Forest & Bird Savages TCDC Mangrove Bill

Their intervention has been the catalyst for over 1000 members of the public making a submission opposing the Bill. They have also highlighted how the Council has tried to block legitimate attempts by Forest and Bird to extract essential official information.

This week it's Pukekohe North School's new principal - Jim Stafford-Bush. Jim has a reputation for transforming poorly performing schools into prosperous profiles. And since this is his last run as principal, Jim has his eye on the prize. His driving force is the potential that he sees in the students.

For Thames/Coast sea level rise is not some far-off problem..

King tides, like the one that rolled over the top of the south in January, (and Thames on 5 Jan) are going to become more frequent as climate change continues to raise sea levels, says atmospheric scientist James Renwick.
Even a sea level rise of 10 centimetres could turn a massive king tide event from every 100 years to every 30 years, he said.
Add another 10cm and it could happen every 10 years. Another 10cm on top of that and king tide events could be every three years, Renwick said.
