Ōtara is in a fruit and vegetable lockdown after a facialis fruit fly was found.

It's the first time this particular fruit fly - which is native to Tonga - has been found in New Zealand, and it could be devastating to crops.

How has the fruit fly discovery affected you? Are you worried about purchasing local fruit and veges from the area? Will you still go to the Ōtara markets this weekend?

Backbone is circus like you’ve never seen before. From revolutionary Australian company Gravity & Other Myths, Backbone is contemporary circus stripped back to its core: physical, playful, and sometimes even painful.

Backbone tests the limits of the human body, featuring jaw-dropping physical feats, hair-raising acrobatics, and moments of hilarious absurdity.

An acrobatic marvel that has to be seen to be believed. Sweaty, sinuous, and seriously impressive.

Transgender ideology in schools

Hi neighbours,

A large proportion of us are parents of Year 1-13 school kids. I just wished to bring to parents' awareness that your kids are lined up to be taught transgender ideology in their schools.

This ideology premises that sex is not binary (male/female) but on a continuum, and that biology is irrelevant to gender, because gender is only a social construct.

The official Govt policy is located here, www.inclusive.tki.org.nz... under "LGBTQIA+". You can read it for yourself, especially the part about inclusive classroom practices, to see what their vision of an inclusive class is like.

There is a petition before Parliament to request that this policy be removed. At present it has 12k signatures. It closes on 28 Feb and another petition on the same topic cannot be resubmitted once closed. It can be found here if you are interested: www.parliament.nz...

For further commentary see Parts 1-4 of this article series : www.whaleoil.co.nz...

We all agree that trans people deserve to be treated with civility and respect. However people who disagree with their kids being brainwashed into these political beliefs with no opt-out, should be respected too.

No other political or minority group in our society has been given such a broad platform by the Ministry of Education to push their beliefs into the minds of impressionable children, without consent of the parents.

Thanks for reading my message, and I hope you will consider signing the petition.
