Poll: Is there after hours care in your area?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

People living in small towns across rural and coastal Waikato could be seeing better access to after hours and urgent healthcare “closer to home” in the future.

The Government announced on Sunday it’s investing $164 million over four years to improve urgent and after hours healthcare across rural and remote parts of the country as part of Budget 2025.

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!
