Did you hear the latest on the ski fields?

Libby Totton Reporter from Taupō Times

Ngāti Tūwharetoa has pulled the pin on plans to buy Whakapapa and Tūroa skifields.

And the iwi has warned the Government it could take court action if any sale went ahead.

In a letter sent to Māori-Crown Relations agency Te Arawhiti, Te Kotahitanga o Ngāti Tūwharetoa Trust chief executive Nigel Chee said the business case did not stack up.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
