by Matai O’Connor

GISBORNE Boys’ High School student Mairangi Campbell has placed second in the Race Unity Speech Awards national final and also won the award for best speech delivery in Auckland on Sunday. The Year 12 student said it felt special to be acknowledged for his efforts and work. “Coming second always has mixed emotions following it,” he says. “There is that small feeling of regret and train of thought which prompts you to think about what you could have done better. But at the same time, you really can’t complain, and it still feels rewarding nonetheless.” Mairangi won the Gisborne/Wairoa regional final in April after presenting a powerful speech on the topic Kia kotahi te hoe - Paddle as one, where he used waka ama as an analogy for how Aotearoa is moving forward with race unity. That qualified him for the semifinals from which six speakers advanced to the national final. “One of the cool things about this event was that while they had the speech competition to compete in, they also had a hui on Saturday where all the competitors and others could collaborate and share their ideas and perspective on racial unity and tolerance,” he said. Competitors got to meet one another before the semifinals on Friday night. On arriving at the venue at the Manukau Institute of Technology they settled in and split into three groups of seven, with two from each progressing to the final.

THE Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is calling for information on the use of the herbicide glyphosate in New Zealand. This weed killer has been used by home gardeners, farmers, and councils in New Zealand since the 1970s. Although it is commonly known as the active ingredient in Roundup, there are 89 mixtures containing glyphosate that are approved for use in this country. EPA is seeking information from New Zealanders — including industry and the general public — about the manufacture, importation, and patterns of use of glyphosate in this country, as well as information GOOD EFFORT: About 35 people, including families with children, showed up to Wrights Vineyard and Winery at the beginning on the availability of alternatives, of the month to plant 400 native plants in the salt marsh area.

The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, May 11, 2021 WORLD 13 David Attenborough to address leaders at UN climate summit LONDON — Veteran British broadcaster David Attenborough has been appointed the “people’s advocate” at the global climate summit this year, where he is expected to address political leaders about the need for urgent action to tackle the “crippling” threat of climate change. The 95-year-old, best known for his documentaries on the natural world such as “Planet Earth”, said the coronavirus pandemic has shown how crucial it is to secure international agreements to solve worldwide problems. “But the problems that await us within the next five to 10 years are even greater,” he said in a short video message. Britain is hosting the United Nations’ COP26 climate conference in Glasgow in November. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson thanked Attenborough for taking up the role, saying he has inspired millions with his TV work. “There is no better person to build momentum for further change ahead of the climate summit,” Johnson said. As part of his role, Attenborough is also expected to speak at the G-7 leaders’ summit in Cornwall, southwestern England, next month. Johnson’s government said last month it HONOURING COVID VICTIMS: Czechs lit nearly 30,000 candles at Prague Castle, the seat of the would commit to a tough new climate target, presidency, on Monday evening to pay their respects to the pandemic’s victims.

Zeman said some of those people died because “we succumbed to the temptation to ease the first time Britain’s share of emissions from (restrictive measures) prematurely”. He said he hoped that Czechs had learned from it. His words came at the end of a international aviation and shipping. — AP day that saw the country massively relaxing its coronavirus restrictions.
