Help needed
I need your help. The equivalent of 330 Rugby teams die every year through heart related matters.
Large scale lotteries like the Heart Foundation Lottery are classified as Class 3 Gambling in the Gambling Act 2003 and under the Act, are not allowed to sell tickets using telephone, email or the internet. I have been personally fighting to change this for the last four years.
The government's Public Discussion Document proposes that a change to Class 3 would be considered a minor change to the current law and that Lotteries, like the Heart Foundation and Coastguard, are likely to have a minimal impact on potential gambling harms.

Some Choice News!
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!
