The NZ election is delayed until October 17

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hey neighbours,

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has delayed the 2020 election by a month, with the new polling day set for October 17.

Ardern has been under increasing pressure to delay the election, previously set for September 19, after Auckland was placed in a two-week lockdown due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the community, leading to a halt in most political campaigning.

Rose from Greenmeadows

Please call the number in the photo if you see Spot. He is desperately missed by his family ❤️🐈💔 He is missing from Napier but could be anywhere as he has been known to hop in cars plus he has been missing 3 weeks now. NB there have been 2 potential sightings - the most likely sighting is Hyderabad Road near Northe Street
