New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.
ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.
"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."
Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

Recent high profile searches in the Tawa, Linden and the northern suburbs have identified that there are many well intended spontaneous volunteers in the communities but very little resources that can enable these efforts to be positive and helpful to a search outcome for a missing person.
This meeting is going to change that! This meeting will bring together the community and develop ideas around scenario based situations on what the public can do safely, responsibly and would contribute in a meaningful way to future searches in their area. Resources and outcomes will be converted into fact sheets and made publicly available as a resource for Police and Land Search and Rescue in order to help guide others.
What this meeting is NOT
This meeting is NOT a venue for a Search Debrief. It is essential we keep the workshop focused and on track. This is about bringing the community together to pro-actively educate and generate useful information that looks to the future and help fellow concerned community members in having resources that genuinely help a search and practices that are safety focused.
Community Group Participation
Various community groups have been approached to help. Feedback has been identified a desire for static wall/window displays of their groups to be included at the event so the public is able to browse during supper and learn more about the organisations in their community. If you would like to have a display, please let me know.
Areas support is still required
If you would like to help we still need support for;
• pre-event distribution of event information and encouraging Tawa/Linden and the communities beyond to attend and contribute
• manning the welcome desk at the event
• covering the cost of workshop materials
• assisting group facilitators at the event to support Wellington LandSAR members
• post event - assistance with creating content/format for fact-sheets
• post event - assistance with graphic design skills to layout fact-sheets

I am posting on behalf of my 23 year old daughter who is a Teacher, primary school trained who is fully registered. She is looking for child care/ babysitting work over the summer holiday break while she comes back home to the family. She has plenty of experience with children (both teaching and childcare/ babysitting), a full clean driver's licence, a First Aid Certificate and excellent references. She is available from the end of the teaching school year (16th of December). She is currently based in Auckland but will be home with family over the holiday season.
If you are interested/ would like further confirmation or documentation/CV, you can contact her directly by email then she will give you further information. (Due to safety reasons we are passing on putting her cell phone number directly up on her).
Please feel free to pass on her details to anyone, friends and family, who you might think may be interested.
Thank you :)

Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for? A lot of people think you have to be over 65 years old before you can apply but if your income tax is $25,180 or less and live in your own home you may be able to claim the full amount of $630. Exactly how much you get will depend on what your rates bill is, how many children or dependents you have and your income. The rebate is income tested so even if you earn more than this you may qualify for some assistance. If you want to know more pop into your local bureau and talk with the volunteers, we can also tell you about rates remission for first home builders and rates postponement if you are experiencing extreme financial hardship.

A kind young man paid for my bus ticket this afternoon at Luxford Street at Berhampore Shops, Bus station no 1 because I had not enough money on my snapper card. I was so surprised about his generosity. That's never happened to me before. Thank you so much. It's very much appreciated.

I am making an effort to raise funds for the Movember foundation you can donate here mobro.co....
I have shaved off my 5 year old beard and discovered my lower face can actually get quite cold.
Joking aside, I know a few people who have suffered from poor mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. I am trying to raise funds to help make a change for people in these situations and make people more aware of their own health - especially the "she will be right" typical kiwi male who often avoids going to the doctor at all cost.
I would really appreciate your donations through the link above.
If you can't afford to donate, that's OK I understand. Times can be pretty tough for some people at the moment. There is other ways you can help though.
Start your own #Movemeber campaign through this link nz.movember.com... or share my "mospace" with your friends and family, maybe even your colleagues.
Thanks for your donations and don't forget to check the link to follow my mustache growth expedition!
