Poll: Childcare
Hey Neighbours,
Will you be picking up the kids later today, or will they be home all day?
Michelle Duff explains in an opinion piece written for Stuff, how some parents can't afford the option of putting their kids into childcare.
Duff said this affects poor mothers the most.
A survey ran by Stats NZ showed that almost a third of mothers said they turned down work, or had to stop looking for it because of childcare difficulties.

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!
