Local Council nominees maybe returning to their core sensibility's?
A new contender for South Taranaki's mayoralty says he would not contribute to the multi-million dollar rebuild of the regional rugby stadium in New Plymouth and would withdraw from the NPDC business and tourism development agency Venture Taranaki. It appears finally, that some common sense is starting to surface in the Taranaki local political scene. Let us hope it is catching and someone with a similar mind-set has a run for mayor , here in the NPDC. Returning the councils to Core District Council business; then rates reduced to some sort of affordable level, is long over-due. Well down Craig. Best wish's.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
