Avoiding WCC spy cameras!

Neil from Thorndon

I've noticed that when the Bowen St WCC Spy Cams are out, someone has been placing a cone further up Bowen to alert drivers to avoid the bus lane!
As it's around the corner it means that the camera crew are unaware of the early warning cone. Cool strategy!

Protest activity - Parliament grounds

Police will be highly visible across Wellington city from today with extra police staff redeployed from across the country, ahead of anticipated protest activity heading to Parliament grounds tomorrow.
We know that over the past few days several groups have been moving across the country in support of a variety of protest causes, most of which are planning to end at Parliament grounds tomorrow.
Police will have a clearer picture of the numbers involved later today as protest groups move closer to Wellington.

Our planning for this has been underway for several weeks, and we are now well placed to respond to a number of, and range of, scenarios. Last year’s Parliamentary occupation provided some helpful learnings for us as an organisation.

Staff numbers have been boosted across all shifts in the district for next two days with more than 80 staff specifically trained in Public Order Policing mobilised to support Wellington district staff.

The focus for Police this week has been on talking to local residents and businesses as well as local iwi and agencies across the government sector.

Road closures are now in place around Parliament, with Molesworth Street and neighbouring streets closed, or operating with restricted access. Parliament has been deemed a no-fly zone, which also prohibits drones.

Our focus has been on ensuring buses and trains are able to operate as normal, and that disruption for local residents and businesses is minimal.

For those coming to march and protest at Parliament, we respect people’s right to demonstrate peacefully in support of their cause, but we are prepared to take enforcement action if it stops being peaceful.

We will have a very low tolerance for any structures being set up on the grounds, and we do have the ability to mobilise additional staff quickly if required. Tow trucks will be on stand-by in the city.

There may be some incidents on which we will need follow up as enquiries later.

To that end, we are keen to have the public’s assistance – to help be our eyes and ears, particularly on Lambton Quay, during the march to Parliament. We will likely want to see any video footage of unlawful activity, and people can report this through 105. But we are also asking that people don’t intervene or compromise their own safety.

It is an important part of our democracy that we preserve people’s right to protest. In the end, our hope is that people come to our city, to have their say on Parliament grounds, and then to leave peacefully.

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

Secondary School and Tertiary Tutoring

Mōrena and Good Morning

I'd like to offer my services as a tutor for anyone seeking support for NCEA levels 1, 2 or 3 maths (including calculus), physics, or tertiary level engineering papers.

I'm Wellington born and raised - I attended Wellington College and obtained NCEA levels 1, 2 and 3 with overall excellence endorsement. I was a prefect in my final year at Wellington College. In 2017 I shifted to Christchurch where I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering with First-Class honours in Civil Engineering, from the University of Canterbury (UC), graduating in 2020.

For three of my four years at UC I tutored local high school students in maths and science, through a holiday programme organised by UC's 'Pasifika Organisation.' I also tutored an engineering first year maths paper and a second year civil engineering fluid dynamics and hydraulics paper. I'm currently tutoring a NCEA level 2 student in physics and supporting a university student with their engineering diploma.

I currently live in Northland, Wellington, with my family - my twin brother who is a police constable on the frontline and mother who is a principal advisor for a not-for-profit organisation. I work for 'Aurecon NZ' as a Civil Engineer, we're based in the Spark building on Willis Street.

I relish the opportunity to support others' education because it brings me much happiness and meaning seeing someone grow in both technical skillset and confidence. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you, and/or someone you love needs a bit of extra help with their study.

My contact details are as follows:

Mobile: 022 647 0882

Ngā mihi and kind regards
