This weeks SPCA Pet of the Day is Scarlett the cat.

"I have come such a long way from the scared frightened little kitten found on a farm with my sister. I am now looking for a wonderful home where I can continue learning about this big wide world.
I will be quite worried in a new environment, so I will need an understanding family who is willing to give me the time to adjust. I would benefit from someone being around for parts of the day or another like-minded cat for company. I try to be brave and once I know you, I will really enjoy your company. I will just need time to get to know you. I really love the attention I get from my caregivers, so I know that in time, I will get to really appreciate you too."

Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.

Hi Upper Hutt,

Three tools have been trialled or used by Police to search publicly available information during investigations, but they will not reveal which ones.

Some of these have sparked controversy overseas, including one tool that was used to track Black Lives Matter protesters or monitor electronic chatter.

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster has defended using these digital tools, and faced criticism for it, with digital rights groups worried online surveillance is escalating.

Auckland technologist Andrew Chen has argued police need to more transparent when deploying a tool and its justification.

Police said the 2020 stocktake was a "snapshot" only and was only revealing what it could to build public confidence.
