Kia Kaha Christchurch
Wednesday night’s vigil in Blenheim was our opportunity to express the feelings of our community to the traumatic events of last week.
Everyone in Marlborough has been shocked by the horrific events of last Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Christchurch attacks.
Each month as I welcome new citizens to Marlborough, including members of the Muslim community, I thank them for making New Zealand their home.
As the Prime Minister said: “they are us”.
The attacks struck at the heart of the South Island and New Zealand, one of the world’s most peaceful and friendly nations.
On behalf of everyone in Marlborough, I have conveyed my thanks to the Police and the emergency services for their incredible bravery and dedication.
Kia kaha.

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:

58.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.2% ... It is complicated
