Poll: Yes or no to the robots?
Imagine walking through Hamilton’s Garden Place and being followed by a futuristic - and slightly Dalek-like - robot the size of a dining table, rolling beside you, recording everything you do, and ready to speak up if it spots trouble.
It might sound like a sci-fi movie, but Hamilton City Councillor Ewan Wilson says it’s worth exploring as the city grapples with increasing drug use and antisocial behaviour in the CBD. “It’s an option,” he says. “Maybe it’s a discussion that we should have.”

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
