Merry Christmas and Cambridge Electorate Office Hours

Louise Upston from Louise Upston MP

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is yet again upon us. It feels like not so long ago that we celebrated the start of 2021.

The beginning of the year was full of activities, including community engagement to gather our community’s priorities and then Delta came along and threw a curveball.   Cambridge spent more than eight weeks in lockdown, and things planned for were either cancelled, postponed or rearranged. However, I’m so pleased that we pulled through.

While there have been many challenges, there have also been opportunities to gain from lessons learnt. I’m proud of our work together to help families and businesses understand the various alert levels and traffic light rules.

I look forward to a break with my family and a reset in preparation for a busy next year. This includes a constituent clinic in February and Friendly Forum in March, details at www.louiseupston.co.nz....

My Cambridge Electorate Office will physically close for the Christmas and New Year break on 17 December 2021. We will virtually be back on board on 5 January 2022 and contactable by phone and email until the office physically reopens again on 17 January 2022.

Phone and email messages will be cleared while the office is closed. Anyone needing assistance can get in touch by at upston.cambridge@parliament.govt.nz or 07 827 5572.

My team and I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

'Invisible boy' Malachi was failed again and again until his brutal death

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The torture and murder of 5-year-old Malachi Subecz is a “national disgrace” but changes made in the wake of his death will not prevent further killings in the future.

The damning view of Coroner Janet Anderson is revealed in a long-awaited 132-page report into one of New Zealand’s most shocking child-killings - the 2021 death of Malachi at the hands of his ‘caregiver’, Michaela Barriball.
