Poll: Should people donate to Givealittle pages for The Block contestants?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

On Sunday The Block houses went to auction and a controversial decision, which saw Andy and Nate's house, which was initially passed in, was sold for the highest profit at a shock second auction that no one expected. They effectively snatched the win from Stace and Yanita.

Since then, The Block losers, Ling and Zing, have had a Givealittle page set up for them - as well as Stace and Yanita.

What are your thoughts about this season's win?
Do you think the Givealittle pages should have been set up for these two teams?

Stace and Yanita's page has raised approximately $2,400, while Ling and Zing's page has raised over $18,300.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

Boundaries of Adaptation - An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Boundaries of Adaptation
An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova
28 February - 18 March
Community Gallery Space - Franklin Arts Centre

Opening Event: Saturday 28 February, 10am

Adaptation is often understood as the ability to adjust to an environment, to accept its conditions and become less visible within it. In this body of work, the focus shifts to a different moment, the point at which adaptation reaches its limit and begins to form a boundary.

This boundary is not a gesture of refusal or isolation. It appears as a need to define how interaction with the outside world takes place. Not to shut it out, but to stay in contact while maintaining a sense of stability. Here, the boundary is not an opposition, but a way of reaching agreement.

The works take the form of wall-mounted sculptural objects, where the boundary becomes material and physically present. Within these objects, it is expressed through weight, density, surface, and tension of form, shifting from an abstract idea into a direct experience.
