New Zealand Biosecurity Awards are open!

Biosecurity New Zealand

It takes all of us to protect what we've got but there are a few champions worth celebrating – could this be you?

These Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions to protecting our country – in our communities, businesses, on-farm, on-orchard, iwi and hapū, government, in the bush and in our backyards.

If you, an organisation or someone you know is putting in the hard yards to protect New Zealand against pests and diseases, it’s time to shine a light on their achievements.

*Entries open until 24 July.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
