Plugging in...to Waimakariri
It’s another brilliant day for getting the election vibe as we enter the outskirts of Rangiora to insert our mood probe into the heart of Waimakariri.
At 10am the temperature is rising as the Nissan Leaf glides past tall hedges, pylons, lifestyle blocks, flashy car yards and old geezers on their electric bikes at the south entrance to the town.
Gail Lydiard, from Woodend, is taking care of her daughter’s gift shop in the town centre and normally votes National.
John Key always got her vote, but she finds Judith Collins “nasty” and National currently unimpressive.
“I like Jacinda but I think she just needs to be stronger and I worry about the country's debt,” she says.

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!
