AUCKLAND LIBRARIES DUMBING DOWN ITS STANDARDS.

Linda from Henderson

The powers that be who run Auckland Libraries have decided that there will be no more fines EVER for not bothering to return a book or twenty books, CDs, everything on offer.
They are not talking about the books you cannot return during pesky lockdown, but into the future.
This decision just promotes irresponsibilty, and non accountability.
We all know the long suffering ratepayers will be the ones who end up indirectly paying for all these missing books, some of which are very expensive.
Who gives these people the power to make such shocking decisions.
NZ is fast becoming a "nothing of quality is valued anymore" country.
In modern idiom "Woke". SAD!

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!
