The Phoenix are on fire

Paul Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

How about those Phoenix?!

The Wellington Phoenix came from behind to beat the Mariners on the weekend to extend their unbeaten record to eight games - their best ever run in their history. Saturday's game also saw our Kiwi A-League team play in front of โ€‹10,186 spectators - their best crowd in recent years.

New coach Mark Rudan has been widely credited with rejuvenating the team - read his passionate post-game thoughts here.

Did you head along to the stadium to support the boys on the weekend?

Are you back on the bandwagon? Or did you never get off?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? โ˜•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellingtonโ€™s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weโ€™ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and itโ€™s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets โš–๏ธ

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
