Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

From the Advocate: "Emily Henderson's family has come under heavy fire from Covid anti-vaxxers who have accused her of war crimes and treason, but the Whangārei MP has vowed not to back off one inch."
Do we need a new mental hospital for anti-vaxers, I am beginning to wonder. Tin foil hats at parliament and 'take your shoes off to reconnect with the Earth, that'll heal you' aside -- I think they have crossed the line of acceptable, reasonable, rational behaviour some time ago; but threatening the families of people who don't follow their lunacy is way way past it. I am appalled (if not entirely surprised). I hope someone has the sense to bring prosecutions: We do not need people like that in our community!

Their foster mum said "Ollie and Cricket came to us with their Mum one month ago. They are both good buddies who LOVE chasing each other and their toys around like fun kittens do. They LOVE their cuddles and their food. Cricket LOVES a dripping tap and will chase the water that drips. Ollie is great at computer work and will just sit and keep you company while you work. it would be best if they go to a loving home together. If you are after entertainment and a long-term loving relationship, please consider Ollie and Cricket as your new furry friends.
