Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

How do you think farm monitoring should be funded?
Matamata-Piako District Council is weighing in on a proposed regional council rates change for Waikato farmers.
The Waikato Regional Plan has over 70 permitted activity rules, several of which relate to effluent and sediment discharges and are subject to proactive monitoring. As part of its Long Term Plan, Waikato Regional Council is proposing to change how it funds this monitoring.
Part of the new proposal is the introduction of a new primary industry compliance rate which will be assessed against all properties 20 hectares or greater in area.
