Man chains himself to digger as west Auckland native tree protest grows
More than 100 protesters have gathered to stop the removal of native trees in Auckland, with one man chaining himself to a digger.
For more than 70 days, Save Canal Road Native Trees group have occupied an area of Canal Rd in Avondale.
On Wednesday, veteran protester Steve Abel, who was previously almost hit by one of the trees as it fell down, said up to 200 people were at the site after hearing police were on their way and contractors planned to cut down trees on Wednesday.
About half a dozen people were in the trees and protester Ken Sparks had used duct tape to secure himself to a digger on a truck so it couldn’t get to the site.
Abel said people were chanting and calling on Auckland Council to “step up” and stop the trees from being cut down.
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
