You’re invited to Mary Potter Hospice’s 'Good Sports' event
Our MCs Keith Quinn and Grant Nisbett, are in training for the Mary Potter Hospice fundraising evening, Wellington Good Sports. They’ll be supported by the other sports guy, Barry Guy, on 12 June at Harbourside Function Centre on the waterfront.
We have some great sporting VIPs who will attend - Melissa Moon, Philip Rush, Wai Taumaunu, Andy Leslie, Liz Perry, Alan Hewson, Dick Tayler and more... Plus Hospice Hops, a great auction, and a lot of laughs.
This will be a great night out, with the proceeds supporting Mary Potter Hospice to run its free-of-charge services in Wellington Kāpiti and Porirua. Be a Good Sport and come along!

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!)
Some Choice News!
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!
