Poll: Would you raise a pig to enter 'The People's Catergory"?

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Pig breeders from the Selwyn and Ashburton district cleaned up at the show - bringing home the bacon in a bunch of categories.
Selwyn Swine's James Davidson called it "the people's category" after his syndicate won Supreme Champion All Breeds for their sow Amy Swinehouse.
Are you going to join the piggy-craze and raise next year's champion at your place?
Check out the story the Lowcliffe ladies who took top spot in their division of the pig category at the show here: www-alpha.stuff.co.nz...

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
