How are you commemorating Anzac Day this year?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Waimakariri's Stuart Hannah has created a 4 metre high Anzac tribute supported by three crosses with the names and serial numbers of his family members who have fought for NZ. The large Poppy was made from an old car bonnet.

Stu was inspired by a mate in Australia to do something to honour Anzac Day this year. Being an ex-Air Force man himself, with family members serving in WWI, WWII and Vietnam, and wife Catherine's grandfather serving in the the British army in WWII, he felt this was a fitting way to honour and remember them during the nationwide lockdown.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
