Takahe chicks thrive: Tiritiri Matangi Island

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

These new arrivals to Tiritiri Matangi Island are now one month old.

The Takahe chicks are growing quickly and thriving.

The feathered friends tend to stick close to the adults or hide under thicker vegetation.

But they are getting braver so some visitors may have the chance to spot them.

Visitors to the wildlife sanctuary north east of Auckland are asked to give the birds plenty of space and to avoid walking between adults and chicks.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
