Hawke's Bay is struggling with the double whammy of severe drought and Covid-19.

Currently, 2,200 more people have lost their jobs compared to last year and 67 per cent of work ready job seekers were Māori and Pasifika.

A Regional Economic Recovery report presented to the Regional Council’s corporate and strategic committee by Sarah Tully presents a grim picture.

Tully said throughout the Covid-19 response, $330m had been paid in wage subsidies across the region, with 52 per cent of jobs covered in the first payment and 10 per cent in the extension.

With booster funding from central government, council supported 728 local businesses with $1.5 million of assistance under the Regional Business Partners programme.

Tully said like the rest of New Zealand, the Hawke’s Bay economy was forecast to decline further, impacted by reduced visitor numbers and rising unemployment levels.

1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).

However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists

Hi neighbours,

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.

It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.


“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.
