Poll: Do you think Waikato will be able to attract more ABs tests?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton’s FMG Stadium Waikato could be hosting one of its last All Black tests in July as competition to host the nation’s top sporting side heats up.

And with New Zealand Rugby (NZ Rugby) struggling to make ends meet, they’ll be looking for more ticket revenue from larger capacity stadiums, says a Hamilton hospitality entrepreneur.

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!
