Spiteful reporting on Stuff - DO BETTER!

Markus from Green Bay

I posted the following comment on an article on Stuff - let's see if it gets swept under the metaphorical carpet again:

"The traditional elite have been cut down to size" is as bad as writing "The upstarts have been put in their place" - I enjoy the Women's Football World Cup very much, I enjoy the supposedly smaller footballing nations upsetting "the usual order" as much as anyone, and I MOST enjoy the fair play and consideration by some players (eg how the UK's Chloe Kelly consoled the Nigerian goal keeper instead of celebrating her winning penalty) and spectators (eg the Japanese cleaning up after themselves after each game, and others following suit) and I can say with conviction: there is no place for such spiteful reporting!

I'm VERY disappointed in Stuff. Shame on that reporter - and the editor for letting it through.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
