The move will save billions for the government's budget but will scrap 33 existing pay equity claims affecting over 150,000 workers in traditionally female-dominated roles like teachers and support workers.

A series of illustrated talks
Sponsored by South Kaipara U3A. Presented by : Chris Ellwood
In a series of three 2 hour seminars, Chris will take us on a journey through time, looking into the full span of artistic expression from prehistoric time until present day. He will help us open our eyes to what we are seeing and experiencing as we view art.
Chris says “To really appreciate art, we need to have some tools of observation. In the coming talks I hope to share some of these tools. You will see art you love and hate and hopefully you will begin to understand why.”
About Chris Ellwood: Chris is passionate about learning and knowledge. He has a BSc in marine biology and graduate diplomas in secondary teaching and theology. These days he is a sculptor in metal and is absorbed in learning about art and artists. Chris is a gifted speaker. Attending these talks will greatly expand your knowledge and appreciation of art.
When: 10.00-12.00 May 27th June 24th July 22nd
Where: Helensville Community Church, Mill Road, Helensville.
Cost: $40.00 for the whole series.

Would you like to know what the future has in store for you ? A new romance perhaps ? Moving house ? Different job ? Would you like to receive a message from a loved one who has passed ?
Interested ? Then come along to our next meeting this Wednesday, May 14th, 7:30 pm start, in the Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa. There is a car park next to the hall and we finish around 9pm.
We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we charge only $5 each to cover costs, including hiring the hall. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are very often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Often, the medium will provide evidence by giving small details that the medium could not possibly have known.
Look us up on Facebook. Satisfy your curiosity by coming along and checking us out. It will be a revelation ! And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗
We need any unwanted newspaper or bubble wrap at the Orewa Red Cross shop, we are open until 5pm everyday!

The single vehicle crash was reported just before 5am, on northbound lanes near Onehunga.
Sadly, the sole occupant of this vehicle died at the scene.
Earlier closures of northbound lanes have now lifted, and Police advise motorists to continue to expect delays as earlier backlogs clear.
We appreciate motorists' understanding this morning while emergency services carried out their work.
The Serious Crash Unit examined the scene this morning, and an investigation is underway into this morning's crash on behalf of the Coroner.
✨ Guava Jelly ✨

As you know, I love experimenting with new ways to repurpose the beautiful fresh produce that’s generously donated to us — and this time, I had bags of fragrant guavas to play with!
After a wash, I simmered them gently with water, sugar, lemon juice, and orange juice. I’d never cooked with guavas before, and I was blown away by the rich, floral aroma that filled the kitchen.
The flavour was bold — really bold! So I decided to make a jelly for cheese platters. I first tried it with a mild cheese, but the jelly totally overpowered it. I was surprised by the flavour punch, so next up: blue cheese! 🧀 If that doesn’t work, I might be stumped.
If you have any ideas or favourite guava pairings, I’d love to hear them! 💬
