After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

The Hamilton Press and Neighbourly are on the hunt for Neighbours of the Week.
Whether you live in an apartment or on a rural property, you have neighbours - and knowing your neighbours matters. Connecting with the people who live around you creates a happier, safer and more friendlier neighbourhood - even if it's just greeting them by name over the fence or popping in for an occasional cuppa. That's what Neighbourly is all about after all. Neighbourly aims to restore the neighbourhoods of old, where neighbours knew each other well enough to pop next door to borrow a cup of sugar or help search for a lost pet.
At the same time, we want to celebrate all the good neighbours who are making an extra effort to support others in communities across the Waikato. These are the ones who organise neighbourhood BBQs, help stack their neighbour's firewood or always put their hand up to babysit.
So if you have a have a neighbour that fits the bill, and needs a bit of thanking, let us know. Nominations can be emailed to julie.kaio@stuff.co.nz

Regional Theatere for Hamilton

I wonder if people on here are aware that the Council, in the last couple of days has said YES to putting $25million (that's right), you read that right.....$25 million of hard earned tax payers money toward this thing.

I wonder if people on here are aware that the Council, in the last couple of days has said YES to putting $25million (that's right), you read that right.....$25 million of hard earned tax payers money toward this thing.
How dare they; when poll after poll has indicated the vast majority of taxpayers DO NOT want their money invested into this Theatre.
I urge anyone who feels strongly to voice their opinions here. This can not be allowed to go ahead.............if the councillors who voted for this want it, then by all means.....THEY CAN PAY FOR IT!!!!
