Measles outbreak: Wellington schools, early childhood centres warned of risk
On Thursday, Regional Public Health (RPH) Wellington issued information sheets about the highly-contagious disease to early childhood centres and schools.
While there have been no reported measles cases in Wellington over the past year, RPH said the upcoming school holiday period – April 13 to 28 – meant families could be exposed. Read more here.
RPH was advising anyone who has not been vaccinated against measles to make an appointment for the jab at their local medical centre. The vaccination is free. Click here to find out everything you need to know about the outbreak.
Anyone who suspects they may have measles should stay away from work, school or public places to help prevent putting others at risk. They should also isolate themselves from family members who are not fully immunised.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.
In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!
The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️
