Poll: Should Nelson City Council help save Natureland?
Should the council put up the funds, or not? Do you have any other ideas for how to save the zoo, or has it's time come? Let us know in the poll or comments below.
Natureland is in trouble, after receiving less council funding than they requested last year.
Possibly the only way to save the business, according to a letter sent to the council by the Natureland Wildlife Trust board chair, is to receive the remaining funding they initially requested, otherwise the zoo will close and the animals will go, either to other zoos or, worst case scenario, by being euthanised.
What do you think should be done?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated

Fast paced comedy!!
I have agreed at very short notice to be involved in a Nelson Fringe Festival show! Alice has turned 65. On her party evening, she nods off watching late-night telly, and wakes in Retirementland. A wacky adventure ensues - the Rat Race sweeps her along and a wry cat asks difficult questions.
A playful kiwi comedy about rediscovering identity, and exploring and embracing life beyond work.
Alice in Retirementland features all your favourite characters in crazy new scenes adapted especially for Alice's latest adventure - rediscovering what is really important to her now that she has reached retirement age.
This mad action will appeal to anyone whether or not they are in a similar stage of life - there will be laughs for everyone as you spot your childhood favourites in their new roles.
This fabulous perennial tale has lost nothing in the re-telling, and promises a great night out for all!
