Assault and Food snatchers
Hi
The NZ Herald reported this morning of people who have purchased a Burger Fuel burger was attacked and had his burger snatched off him after he picked it up. The second incident is that a Uber order was taken off the person who was picking it up from delivery. Third incident was when the delivery truck for daily bakery products had his truck robbed of some items during delivery.
What desperate needs are driving these attackers? What measures can be taken to safeguard such attacks? Taken that these people may be hungry but all they have to do is ask and I am sure the owners would have given them a meal gladly instead of getting hurt in the process of unprovoked attacks.
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.

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!
