Activities to do during isolation/lockdown
I did post about this a couple of weeks ago, but thought I would post again for those who may have missed it.
I started a group called self-isolation activities New Zealand on Facebook, in effort to help out people during these difficult times. There are now over 600 members keeping themselves and their families busy.
The page is evolving all the time with not only activities you can do, but also music to listen to, posts you can laugh at, and quizzes you can complete, but best of all it is a page for ages.
You are also welcome to post any ideas you have and to keep our communities smiling and busy!!
The page has many different ideas posted over the course of a day, so please take time to navigate through the posts, or click on the topics at the top of the page to search for ideas of interest.
I did try and post on Neighbourly after I last posted about this group, however, due to many ideas being on video, I was unable to do so.
All the best, take care and stay well, thank Kirsty
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?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% 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!
