Thank you for your support!
There's nothing like partying together at the Whau Chinese New Year Festival to build friendships and understanding.
More than 30 businesses and community groups, and over 100 volunteers will take part in the 2019 Chinese New Year event, which will feature a wide range of food stalls including Chinese specialties and international flavours, as well as cultural performances, art displays and family activities.
"This year, we are proud to involve St John New Zealand, Auckland Helicopter Rescue Trust, Eco Matters and the United Nations Association of New Zealand as our charity partners. We provide them with a free stall so they can raise awareness and fundraise," says Yang. "We want more people to embrace the concept of charity and give back."
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
