Amitabha Hospice Joins All Our NZ Brothers & Sisters In Sadness & Prayers

Anjalee Pieries from Amitabha Hospice Service Trust

We send our heartfelt condolences to the people affected by the events in Christchurch on Friday. Our thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with all our fellow community and especially those families directly involved.

There is still hope for change. With wisdom we can recognise the danger of hatred in our own hearts and clearly understand the causes that lead to such violence. Our enemy is not a person, a white supremacist or any racial, political group but the only enemy is the ‘hatred’ that comes in all its different forms. If we can begin to consider hatred as the enemy of yours and mine, then we can begin to transform our hatred into loving and compassion making no space available for our only enemy –“HATRED” to thrive in this world.

To all the victims of violence and their families, please accept our heartfelt sympathy. May hatred of all forms be eradicated with kindness and clarity

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

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!
