Best Exotic Tour
Is anyone keen to come with me on a most excellent adventure to explore colourful, historic Rajasthan for 3 weeks at the end of September this year?
Essentially this is a fundraiser for children I have "inherited" after their Mum died in an accident. She put this tour together for family and friends to show us what delighted her most about India, where she had made her home.
We'll retrace her route, staying in guesthouses with old-world charm, meeting people who were inspired by her work with the underpriviledged, purchase handcrafted treasures and colourful fabrics to bring home, and be wowed by the architecture and history of the old trade route.
With everything taken care of while travelling with her husband and myself in India, including all meals so we can take care of your tummy, you can relax and thoroughly enjoy the magic and mayhem that makes India so special.
Time slips away ~ time to schedule in an exotic adventure this year !
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!
Poll: How are your manu skills?
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.
Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
How are your manu skills? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
