Poll: Community Newspaper Revival
With the shutdown of community newspapers like Central Leader, Western Leader and Eastern Leader, many suburbs have lost a trusted source of local updates, neighbourhood stories and small-business promotion. We are exploring scope of rebranding existing ethnic community newspaper into a broader community newspaper to fill this gap and bring back true local news for everyone — Kiwi, migrant and multicultural communities together. We would love to hear your thoughts: Do you feel the disappearance of community newspapers has affected local connection and access to information? Would you support the launch of a renewed, community-focused newspaper — including by reading it, sharing local stories or encouraging local businesses to advertise? Your feedback will help us assess whether the community wants this back.

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!
