Hello, I’m looking for a cleaner for a couple of hours once a week for a 4 bedroom house in Pukerua Bay.
It's amazing the sorts of things we find blocking wastewater pumps.

A pager? A walkie talkie? What do you think it is?
One thing we do know is it should not be flushed down the loo! These types of items cause blockages in the wastewater network. They can also cause blockages and damage to the pipes within your property boundary, which can cost you a lot in plumber bills to fix!
The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are the 3 P's:
-Pee
-Poo
-Paper (toilet paper that is)
Wet wipes (even 'flushable' ones), sanitary items, shampoo and conditioner bottles, diapers etc should be thrown in the rubbish bin, and phones/pagers should be taken out of back pockets before heading into the dunny.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

I'm going to Fiji this year to create a "Living Memory" community photography project with people affected by cyclones and other affects from climate change. Do you have a digital camera that you could donate? Would need to be in good working order, have a working battery, and come with a charger and memory card. I can collect. For more information, or to even donate to the project financially, please go to the Givealittle page below. Vanka vaka levu (thank you!)

Right now we spend almost $900,000 each year on emergency management in the Wellington region. We’re considering spending $300,000 more annually and we want to know what you think.
Should we spend more on emergency preparation?
