Wanted: Gardening Hero with Real Tools and Experience!
Our backyard has gone rogue. Think jungle, not garden. We’re talking waist-high weeds, shrubs plotting world domination, and a lawn that’s forgotten what a mower looks like.
We need someone who:
Knows their way around heavy-duty gear (not just a pair of secateurs and good intentions).
Can tame an overgrown wilderness and keep it looking sharp.
Offers regular lawn mowing and maintenance once the beast is under control.
If you’re the kind of gardener who laughs in the face of tangled vines and owns tools that mean business, we want you!!
Location: Khandallah
Timing: ASAP – before the weeds start charging rent.
Get in touch to help us bring order back to chaos!!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
