Be nice
Everyone is welcome to their own opinions, on their own posts. Please don’t use other peoples posts to vent your frustrations and personal antipathetic (bad) opinions. Especially if the post is simply informing of an event.
The poster is not responsible for the government mandates, and wherever you like them or not, the mandates are there for a reason. Accept them or not, that is your choice, and no one is saying you don’t have a choice.
But as adults we all should know, by now, that choices have consequences. And consequences are not always what we like.
If you don’t like the system, try coming up with a better one. I dare you. But don’t take it out on innocent people, please. THAT creates division more than anything else.
Be nice! Or face the consequences. ☝️♥️
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
