Poll: How about WINZ and OSCAR funded weekend childcare facilities?

Donna from Roslyn - Terrace End

I am a single parent struggling on a benefit. I meet employers interested in giving me a job but so far 100% of them have wanted weekend work as well. I don't have access to free family babysitters and I'm not going to pay a babysitter all my minimum wage. I'm guessing other single parents and some couples have this road block to. Isn't it about time day cares and places like the YMCA are open 7 days?

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!
