The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

Living with Tourettes NZ. is on Prime, Sunday at 8.30pm for another 5 weeks.
It gives a great insight into the lives of people in New Zealand living with Tourettes Syndrome.
Tourettes is a debilitating syndrome that is not recognized as a disability here and very much misunderstood.
My daughter Jessica is one of the 6 people that were followed and is hoping this will bring a better understanding to the wider community of the daily challengers faced by people with Tourettes Syndrome.

Hi, my beautiful Bengal Bubbles is still missing from Ohope. He’s a 2 yr old desexed male and is microchipped. I believe he may have been taken out of the area as he wasn’t well liked by some bird lovers in our area. Missing since Feb 5th. Please keep your eyes out for him, and your ears open to any neighbourhood gossip about him. He could be anywhere. We miss him so much and desperately want him home. Thanks 😻

The project is part of an ongoing track improvement programme being undertaken by the Whakatāne District Council and will include a number of improvements, including the removal of some existing steps and the installation of new box steps, erosion controls and improved track benching.
Site work is expected to begin on the track on Monday, 30 July and will take approximately six weeks to complete. The walkway will remain open to the public throughout the upgrade period, but walkers may face short delays at any of the multiple work zones, and when helicopter operations are underway.

The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) confirmed the recalled products have been traced back to a Hungarian facility, known to be the source of the listeria.
A Countdown spokeswoman said the supermarket had been advised there was a potential risk its Bell Farms Steam Veggies, Carrot, Corn and Broccoli bags contained the bacteria.
The company withdrew one batch of the Bell Farms frozen vegetables on Friday from all Countdown, SuperValue, and FreshChoice stores and has since recalled all batches of the product. Anyone who has purchased this product can return it to any of our stores for a full refund.
Frozen vegetables generally pose no risk if cooked correctly before eating, she said. Listeria can cause illness in pregnant woman and their unborn babies, newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
Information on the recall is available here. More information on food safety and listeria can be found here.
