The largest shipment of the Pfizer vaccine
to date has arrived into New Zealand two days ahead of
schedule, and doses are already being delivered to
vaccination centres around the country, COVID-19 Response
Minister Chris Hipkins says.

than 370,000 doses reached New Zealand yesterday, following

DHL and the Ministry of Health’s logistics team,” Chris
Hipkins said.
“The arrival came after some dedicated

A
combination of artificial intelligence and scientific
ingenuity looks set to be the next step forward in
protecting Aotearoa New Zealand’s lakes and rivers from
invasive aquatic weeds.
Management and detection of
invasive submerged weeds costs millions of dollars annually,
but NIWA researchers have developed a way to detect and
identify submerged weeds. This technology will enable
agencies to survey far larger areas more efficiently than is

responses to new incursions.
Invasive submerged weeds
can degrade water quality, exacerbate silt and flooding,
reduce the number of native animals and plants and play

In a highly offensive speech to Australian Zionists the
pro-Zionist Australian Labor Opposition leader Anthony
“Albo” Albanese has grossly violated the policy of the
Australian Labor Party (ALP) which promises to recognize the

supporters.
Ineffective, timid, extremely unpopular,
neoliberal and pro-Zionist Albo cannot be removed as an
utterly dud leader nor for fervently supporting with false
