OATH BREAKING

Jan from Ebdentown

On several occassions since Feb 2017 I have tried engaging by email with the following Councillors;

Councillors who are ignoring me/us or negating and our concerns regarding the Library, Chris Carson, John Gwilliam, Glenn McArthur, Paul Lambert, Dave Wheeler and Blair Griffiths.

Despite the fact they have sworn to engage with ratepayers, to represent ratepayers and to facilitate the democratic process by helping ratepayers access their Council by assisting ratepayers navigate the process to present their concerns to Council. Whether they agree with the ratepayers concerns or not, whether they like the ratepayer or not.

Do you want to elect and pay people to represent your interests when they feel they can ignore you and refuse to do their sworn duty? They in dereliction of their duty!!

If they can do it to me/us they can and will do it to you!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
