Poll: Have you come across any giant wasp nests recently?

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

A large wasp nest, originally the size of a two-person tent, has been discovered in Auckland’s Waitākere Ranges.

Found in the Karekare beach area of the regional park, it is believed to have been expanding for up to two years and would have been home to tens of thousands of wasps.

Sarah Gibbs, Auckland Council’s senior ecological advisor, said it was one of the largest seen in a long time.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
