Poll: Was it the right decision to remove the statue of Captain Hamilton?

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi everyone,

The controversial statue of Hamilton's namesake, Captain John Fane Charles Hamilton, was removed from Civic Square about 10.50am on Friday.

It comes after a formal request from Waikato-Tainui and a man's pledge to tear it down.

What's your view on the removal? Was it the right call?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
