Poll: Have you ever had problems while out shopping?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A woman attacked by a beggar at Chartwell mall believes the shopping centre could have done more in the wake of the incident.

The woman, who only wants to be known as Christine for privacy reasons, had done some of her Christmas shopping at the Hamilton precinct on December 16 when she was returning to her car.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
