Poll: Do you think National will be out after one term?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New political polling has the National Party headed towards one term in power, with a majority thinking the country is on the “wrong track”, disapproving of the Government’s performance and a near majority believing it is time to “give another party a go”.

The Talbot Mills polling for commercial clients, obtained by The Post, is similar to some other polls in recent months in that it shows a marginal Labour-led coalition could govern, if an election were to produce these results. Talbot Mills is also Labour’s pollster.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
