Poll: Are you buying decorations this Christmas?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Wendy Whatford is like a “rabbit in charge of lettuce” running Hamilton’s Christmas Heirloom Company store.

Her house almost matches the store this time of year. She drives her loved ones “nuts” with her festive obsession, but that’s just tough, she says.

Have you seen fisheries officers out and about?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Dumping your illicit catch then fleeing fisheries officers is about the worst thing you can do this summer and one group in Raglan found this out the hard way.

They were picked up as authorities ramp up their compliance work at boatramps across the region to make sure fishers are sticking to the rules. While most do - some even have their own sustainability codes - others do not.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
