Examining the past can help protect our future.

Abuse in State Care Royal Commission

The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Only flush the 3P's

The Team from Wellington Water

It's amazing the sorts of things we find blocking wastewater pumps.

A pager? A walkie talkie? What do you think it is?

One thing we do know is it should not be flushed down the loo! These types of items cause blockages in the wastewater network. They can also cause blockages and damage … View more
It's amazing the sorts of things we find blocking wastewater pumps.

A pager? A walkie talkie? What do you think it is?

One thing we do know is it should not be flushed down the loo! These types of items cause blockages in the wastewater network. They can also cause blockages and damage to the pipes within your property boundary, which can cost you a lot in plumber bills to fix!

The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are the 3 P's:
-Pee
-Poo
-Paper (toilet paper that is)

Wet wipes (even 'flushable' ones), sanitary items, shampoo and conditioner bottles, diapers etc should be thrown in the rubbish bin, and phones/pagers should be taken out of back pockets before heading into the dunny.

IMPORTANT!!

We just received an email about RHDV1-K5 being released in the Wellington Region. Here are the basics:



* It will be released from 16th of April 2018.

* The virus is a Korean strain of the already established RHDV1 virus.

* The virus will be released at 30 sites across the region. Sites will mostly be on private land, or, on areas where there is minimal public access.



We have been told: "The release will be closely managed and carried out in alignment with the ‘Operational Protocol for the Importation, Distribution, Sale and Use of RHDV1 K5’ prepared by Environment Canterbury Regional Council and approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries."



The current RHDV1 vaccine (Cylap®) that protects pet rabbits from the current RHDV1 virus, should also protect them from the new RHDV1 K5 strain. As with all vaccinations, they are not 100% in efficacy. Here are some things to keep in mind:



* If you have not already vaccinated your rabbit, do it now!!

* If you suspect your rabbit is ill - call your nearest rabbit savvy vet. Do not take your rabbit directly into a clinic unless told to do so. There may be safety protocols in place to prevent infecting other rabbits on site.

* If your pet rabbit dies unexpectedly, call your nearest rabbit vet and ask for advice. If you have other rabbits on your property, we recommend asking to have a post mortem done. We also suggest telling your friends who have rabbits... if they visit you they could transfer the virus back to their own rabbits.

* Keep your rabbits area clean and disinfect regularly (including food and water bowls).

* Bring your rabbits indoors if you have a large enough space to do so.

* Do not pick grass/forage for your rabbits in public places. We suggest growing your own bunny food where possible.
