Poll: What do you think of the patch ban?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Gang patches are now all but gone at the Hamilton shopping centre where officers made one of the nation’s first arrests on the first day of the new rules.

People around Chartwell’s Lynden Court Mall felt there’d been a definite shift in the three weeks since the ban on gang insignia in public places.

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!
