Get out and get vaccinated
Mayor Wayne Guppy is urging Upper Hutt residents to get out and get vaccinated.
Upper Hutt was one pf the lowest vaccine rates in the region and experts warn that if Covid strikes it will hit hard.
His plea comes at a time when the Government is urging all New Zealanders to get vaccinated if they want to enjoy an outdoor summer.
Professor Michael Plank, from Canterbury University, said the Delta variant was “really good” at finding unvaccinated populations such as Upper Hutt.
“We also know that any under-vaccinated groups will be at high risk of experiencing a fast-growing outbreak and suffering from higher rates of severe illness, hospitalisation and death.”
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT
Set the scene:
CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.
Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.
Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.
Gave me a laugh.
