An Act of Generosity
Yesterday (Fathers Day) myself and my partner and daughter went out for a meal in Speight's Ale House in Petone. It was a delightful meal and the service was excellent.
As I went up to pay, I was told that some one who was at a nearby table had paid a sum of money off of my bill. I did not know who it was and they were gone by the time I went to pay.
I have no idea why they did this very generous thing, but I was very touched by the gesture.
If the person who did this is reading this, we wish to thank you very much indeed (and hope that it was not done in error).
Acts of unaccredited generosity certainly have a deep effect on people and considering that, one month previously, we had our car stolen, this has helped us to re-align our faith in human nature.
THANK YOU.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
