A second discovery of myrtle rust has been made on ramarama plants at a private property in St Lukes.

This comes after the first finding of the fungal plant disease in the Auckland region last week in the Waimauku area of west Auckland.

Myrtle rust is a fungus that attacks and can potentially seriously affect myrtle species plants including some significant natives such as pōhutukawa, ramarama, mānuka and rātā.

What to do if you see myrtle rust:

Initial symptoms are powdery, bright yellow or orange-yellow pustules on leaves, tips and stems.

Report any signs of the distinctive yellow fungus to MPI on 0800 80 99 66.

Do not touch the plant or the rust, as this may spread it.

If possible, take a photo of the plant and yellow patches and send the photo to MPI.

I was proud today to join Race Relations Commissioner, Susan Devoy's, campaign to "Give Nothing to Racism".
The campaign, headed by New Zealander of the Year Taika Waititi, is enlisting the support of New Zealanders to show zero tolerance for racism.
Auckland is a city that celebrates its multiculturalism. We are a diverse society with 40 per cent of us from overseas. Largely we have embraced this and our children from different ethnic backgrounds go to school, play, grow up, work together and intermarry.

But while we are mainly a harmonious society, racism still exists. It is negative, destructive and seeks to divide and create conflict between usThis campaign calls on all of us to oppose racism at any level and recognise and respect the common humanity we all share.
