Not in My Backyard crowd told to move on
Move over NIMBYs, it is time to meet 20-year-old Madison McVie.
NIMBY stands for “Not in my back yard’’ and McVie wants Wellington city councillors discussing the future of Wellington to ignore those who do not favour growth in the city.
The council is looking at removing demolition protection for many pre-1930s buildings and allowing eight-storey new builds, in areas close to railway stations and areas like Johnsonville.
McVie told councillors that she cannot understand why some people oppose the move to bring vibrancy to the city.
“I just think it is great, so please build more houses in my backyard. I would appreciate that."
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
