Warwick from Birkenhead

New Zealand is planning to increase the allowable glyphosate (Roundup) levels in wheat, oats, peas, and other foods โ€” not because itโ€™s safer, but because residues are already too high. That's your morning cereal, toast, and other daily foods.

Instead of fixing the problem, they want to change the rules.

This isnโ€™t just a farming issue โ€” itโ€™s a food safety issue. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, gut issues, hormone disruption, and harms bees, birds, and soil health.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
