Christmas Angel!
On 24/12 I met with a true Christmas Angel. When I got back to my car after some last minute shopping I found an envelope under my wiper. In it was a lovely card with a monetary gift inside. I was very humbled by the kind person who made this who had done this and wished I could have thanked him/her in person. I have the gift still and would now like to pass it on in the spirit of which it was given to me. I will donate it to the Australian bush fire fund. If the person who made my Christmas so special is reading this please accept my grateful thanks. May your New Year be full of happiness and good health.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
