Exciting times
With the end of winter and springs new life changes, things are certainly moving forward in Elusions house hold.
We couldn't be more proud of our 16 year old who had her first ball recently and looked amazing! The same week she also nailed her learners licence and is on the count down to her trip to Germany CGHS, only 4 weeks now to go it all seams a little unreal.
Her last fundraising drive is on at the moment with stainless steel pegs. Her mum is definitely ready for a break from fundraising.
Back to the subject of the learners, we are keen that she learns in a manual so have started to keep an eye out for a cheap but reliable run around. It wouldn't be the best look to see Patricks Ute with all the signwriting bunny hopping around town. If anyone knows of one coming up over the next few months we would love it if you kept us in mind.
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?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% 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!

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
