Every year, around 130,000 Kiwis fall victim to identity theft, with passport details the most commonly stolen information.

We’re wondering what Wellingtonians think about the use of biometric identifiers to unlock devices. Not just physical markers such as fingerprints and facial recognition, but also behavioural characteristics such as finger movements and gestures.

Would you feel safer online if you didn’t have to remember a list of passwords? Or would you feel uneasy about your device being able to recognise you from your micro-movements, for example? And, have you ever had your personal information stolen?

I am part of the creative team at the Cancer Society. We make Beanies and hats for men and women Cancer Patients. There is a lot of demand for these hats and our fabric stocks are getting very low.

We would really appreciate donations of knit, stretchy fabric which is new and clean and not less than 1 meter. Any colour, and weight is fine.

Should you have any to donate, please drop them in to the Cancer Society in Newtown.

Should anyone have a working spare sewing machine they no longer need, that would also be put to good use.

We thank you in advance and appreciate all donations.

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

We have considerable challenges to maintain our current network and be prepared for growth. Maintaining a balance between delivering affordable, clean and sufficient water must be balanced with ensuring our take does not adversely affect the eco-systems of the relevant waterways or result in environmentally harmful discharges.
