Poll: Should Hamilton have a fund for de-sexing stray cats?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hamilton City Council has a $100,000 plan to stop stray moggies from breeding.
City councillors voted for an annual grant to de-sex stray or abandoned cats around the city.
It has won praise from SPCA chief executive Andrea Midgen: "It's a real top of the cliff strategic move by the Hamilton City Council - it's just amazing."
Paws 4 Life's Rachael Maher said the group had taken 1500 cats and kittens off the streets in the past year.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
