Operatunity presents Shake, Rattle & Roll!

Claire Mitchell from Operatunity Daytime Concerts

The 50’s and 60’s brought about a more enveloping style of music, which featured a more liberating beat, greater gusto and a more contagious invitation to dance that ever heard before. Some of the greatest artists of all time lead to fanatical adoration, frenzied fans and even panty throwing!

Iconic New Zealand artists like Suzanne Lynch (The Chicks) and Pat Urlich (Peking Man) will be joined by Operatunity’s favourite core artist Bonnie & Karl. We are in for a shaking, rattling and rolling good time! With songs from the likes of Elvis, Connie Francis, Bill Hayley and the Comets and more!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
