Reporter Rotorua News

Tobacco product prices went up 10 per cent after the latest tax hike on January 1. So how much more do smokers have to fork out now? Enough to buy a basketload of groceries, it seems.
A 20-pack of cigarettes now costs about $25.45 on average, while a 30-gram pouch of tobacco costs about $55.30, a… View more

Great beer key to Brew's appeal

Having good beer as your pub's USP – unique selling point – might seem rather obvious.
But back in 2011, however, it was almost a novelty.

Howdy all. Here at Wasp Wipeout we thought we'd give you some information on how to deal with the wasp that most populates urban gardens - the paper wasp.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.

Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.

At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here
