Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a husband and wife who were cut from a real estate company they worked for over racist social media comments are standing in the local body elections.

Paul and Kathryn Davie were real estate agents for Ray White in Auckland’s Blockhouse Bay but had their contracts terminated after making derogatory posts on Facebook about Muslims and Africans in 2019.

The couple are candidates for the Whau Local Board, which covers New Lynn, Green Bay, Kelston, Rosebank, Avondale, New Windsor and Blockhouse Bay.

Paul Davie has a political background and ran unsuccessfully for the Conservative Party in the 2017 General Election. He stood in the New Lynn electorate.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
