Ban Public sales of Fireworks

Ban public sales of Fireworks.



Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.



The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.



As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.



Also there is often a litter problem in public places.



What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?



Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!



Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.



Why is this important?

It protects our environment!

It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!

saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

A huge thank you to the Invercargill Licensing Trust and the ILT Foundation @invercargilllicensingtrust!

The Team from SPCA Invercargill - Centre & Op Shops

We’re excited that thanks to their generous grant contribution, our two SPCA Op Shops in Invercargill have a brand-new tail lift delivery truck. It’s a fantastic addition that is already making a difference, helping our team collect quality donated goods more easily, deliver larger purchased items, and keep our Op Shops running smoothly for our community.

Every item bought or donated supports local animals in need, and this new truck is helping us make an enormous difference to the way we operate each day.

Thank you, ILT and the ILT Foundation, for your incredible support for SPCA Invercargill. Your kindness helps us care for animals and build a kinder community for all 💙🐾

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!
