It's that time of the year when it seems like there is a public holiday every second week. And while that's great news for Monday to Friday workers, the feeling isn't as sweet for some shift workers missing out on several public holidays every year. 

One man who works Tuesday to Saturday in finance says he has missed around 10 holidays, since he started working at his company full time three years ago.

A Muslim community leader has slammed the "paltry" amount of money being allocated to the Government's efforts to help those still suffering from the effects of the Christchurch terror attack.

Fifty-one people died when a gunman opened fire at two mosques on March 15, 2019. An event marking the anniversary will be held Saturday afternoon - the first after last year's planned commemoration was cancelled as the COVID-19 threat arrived on our shores.

 Be bloody thankful the government offered that... anywhere else in the world you would have got nothing. We are also in a pandemic and the GDP is down... technically they the government don't need to even give this... so be thankful. You should be seeking it from the Australian government since he was an Australian.

Government ministers have met to discuss New Zealand's alert level settings, but Aucklanders won't find out if restrictions will be lifted until later on Friday.
