Scientist queries testing of Westport's dead rats by mystery lab

Locals and Department of Conservation staff picked up almost 700 rats as well as dead Westland petrels, weka, octopus, starfish, a goat, crabs, crayfish and skate fish after they washed up on Westport's North Beach in November.

Testing by Maanaki Whenua Landcare Research found no residue of 1080. Flora and Fauna of Aotearoa and Clean Green New Zealand Trust said it had some of the dead wildlife tested at an unnamed lab and found they had been poisoned by 1080.

Belinda Cridge, from University of Otago's Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, said she had read both reports and had several questions around the processes used in the trust's testing and questioned its final results. She said she could not support the positive results without a detailed description of all the methods and controls used.

Hi Everyone, Email from head office with an opportunity for us to have a concert in Westport by one of the supporting acts of SIX60. Lets get active Buller and see if we can get the Judges to pick Westport as a venue.
As the local Neighbourly Lead in Westport , we thought you would be especially interested in a competition we are running which is all about rewarding members, like you, who regularly use the site.

SIX60 is loved by Kiwis across all generations - a rare feat for a band. So we decided to jump on board to celebrate all things Kiwi in suburbs across New Zealand - because there is nothing better than a summer concert to help bring neighbours together!



Simply being neighbourly could earn you an exclusive concert in your neighbourhood from one of the supporting acts from this summer’s SIX60 tour. This opportunity is exclusive for verified Neighbourly members.



All our judges need to see is you being more Neighbourly - whether it’s posting to your neighbourhood, replying to questions or inviting your neighbours to join the site.



Don’t forget to share this by posting the information to your neighbourhood and get them excited about the chance to win this prize!



On top of the exclusive concert, we also have 20 double passes to give away to members for the regional concerts taking place in Lower Hutt, New Plymouth, Hamilton, Whangarei and Dunedin.



You can find out more about the competition here: www.neighbourly.co.nz......

Buy one, give one for Kiwi families in need

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

We’re not sure who decided that Black Friday was suddenly a ‘thing’ down in our part of the world, so, as us Kiwis tend to do, we thought we’d put our own spin on it instead. One that is much more focused on community over consumerism, and equally about giving as it is about getting.

Curious?

Kicking off today and running through 'til Monday 2 December, we are doing our annual buy-one-give-one campaign.

That means for every Christmas Gift Box or Christmas Cracker set purchased, we’ll also give one to City Missions and food banks across the country to support families in need. Our aim is to give back to an organisation within the community that each of our customers live in.

The best part? There’s no car park congestion, over-crowded shopping malls or #walmartfights involved. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home, with the knowledge that you’re also doing good for fellow Kiwis in their own community.

You could say that our version of Black Friday is in fact a whole lot more colourful, adding brightness to what might otherwise be a fairly bleak Christmas for many families in New Zealand.

Together, we can make Christmas a bright and tasty time for families in need - and that sounds like a pretty good deal, don’t you think?!

Whether you’re buying for an avid foodie, a wannabe masterchef, a time-poor parent, or a student who needs help to step their signature spag bol up a notch, our Christmas Gift sets are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, are all gluten-free, with no MSG, and all-natural!

You’ll find more information about Raptor Naturals, our Christmas Gift Boxes and our Christmas Crackers on our website - www.raptornaturals.co.nz

Thanks for your support
