Posting for a change to win $300 prezzie card

Scott from Stanmore Bay

Hi everyone, I'm Scott.

I recently received an email about a chance to win a $300 gift card, and I thought I'd give it a try.

This opportunity would mean a lot to me. Living on disability support barely covers my rent, and I’m left with just $80 each week for bills and food. Due to my disability, I’ve been mostly confined to my home for the past 5 years, except for going to doctors appointments and district nurses appointment and the grand ole highlight of my week by going grocery shopping.

I suffer from a chronic condition that causes constant blood and pus leakage. This not only affects my health but also ruins my clothes and bedding regularly. Winning this gift card would allow me to buy new clothes, especially underwear and socks to replace the ones full of holes, and perhaps some new bedding to improve my quality of life.

You can read more about my condition on my Give-a-little page.
( givealittle.co.nz... )

Having these essentials would make a significant difference, helping me feel more comfortable and less stressed about my basic needs.

Thank you for considering my entry.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
