Poll: 🚁 Is it time for a more aggressive national strategy for managing wild deer, or should we lean into local hunting communities?

Journalist Nikki Macdonald recently highlighted a growing crisis in Fiordland National Park: the devastating impact of surging deer numbers.

In a place as unique as Fiordland, the damage to native flora can take decades to undo. There are plenty of "cooks in the kitchen" suggesting solutions, from increased commercial harvesting to aerial control or hunter-led initiatives.

We want to know what you think: How should we tackle deer control in our most sensitive conservation areas?

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
