Poll: Have you ever seen a white tūī?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Maciej Kisiel thought it was a messenger from above when he saw a rare white tūī land in his cherry blossom tree.

The Te Miro resident had taken a break from doing fencing, and was having some mushroom soup with his partner Sarah on Sunday when they saw the bird out in their backyard.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
