Hundreds of thousands of Kiwis who do not yet have both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine face a tightening of their freedoms on December 3, when the Government moves the entire country into the new “traffic-light” system.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the date on Monday, saying Covid-19 was not going to be eradicated from New Zealand.

“The hard truth is that Delta is here and not going away,” Ardern said.

While Aucklanders will finally see an end to New Zealand’s longest lockdown, those in other parts of the country could face far more restrictions if they have not been fully-vaccinated.

New memorial to remember the fallen

Porirua City Council

A new memorial at Porirua Cemetery is a central point to honour and pay tribute to those who served our country. Porirua Mayor Anita Baker said it was fitting that the Services Memorial was unveiled on 11 November, which is Armistice Day.

A new memorial at Porirua Cemetery is a central point to honour and pay tribute to those who served our country. Porirua Mayor Anita Baker said it was fitting that the Services Memorial was unveiled on 11 November, which is Armistice Day.

The memorial was blessed by Ngāti Toa kaumatua Taku Parai, and he and Mayor Baker laid a wreath. The memorial was the result of more than two years’ worth, researching and compiling the list of service personnel buried in the historic cemetery, on Kenepuru Drive.

“As the cemetery doesn’t have a dedicated section for the burial of service personnel, the memorial provides a central location for people to pay their respects,” Mayor Baker said.

There is also new signage identifying where the graves are located in the cemetery, and other information. The project was a collaboration between Council, RSA, Veterans Affairs and local volunteers, including a significant research effort by local historian Allan Dodson.

"We were part of a group of guinea pigs that our family could no longer care for, so now we are looking for a new home together.
We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."

If we sound like the kind of new family member you have been looking for, please get in touch. Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.
