Dog droppings
I have recently got a dog and walk it twice daily. I have noticed how many dog droppings are left on pavements, in parks and on walkways and berms. DOG OWNERS ARE NOT PICKING UP THEIR DOG'S POOP. Most of the droppings I see are from larger dogs, indeed some are huge piles and right on pavements where children walk to school, or in parks and reserves where children play. If you don't pick up your dog's poop you should be ashamed of yourself. Not only is it unsightly and smelly but is unhygienic and a health risk. It's also an offence, but that's beside the point. It's pure laziness to not pick it up. I implore dog owners to please ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR DOG'S POOP. If you don't, dogs may be excluded from more and more places because of it and that would be a shame for the responsible dog owners.
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.
