Hi Neighbours,

Can you taste a difference between budget and premium milk? There are few things that divide the public as much as the budget versus branded milk debate.

In Stuff's new 'Milking It' investigation, we look at the difference between branded milks, the current milk prices in New Zealand, as well as the comeback of glass milk bottles.

So, what are your thoughts on our country's milk? Take part in our poll, and feel free to share your thoughts in the replies!

Hi Christchurch,

What did you think of your city's Botanic D'Lights festival? About 136,000 people visited the event over five nights last week. And now your city's gardens are set to be lit up all year round, thanks to a new light installation. However some ratepayers have questioned the $900,000 cost to keep the Armstrong Lawn area adjacent to Rolleston Ave, lit.

So let's hear your thoughts. Are you happy for your rates to go towards the lighting display? Or do you think the money should be best spent elsewhere? Let us know in the replies!
