AUT Study - Participants Needed

Bethany from Pakuranga Heights

Hello neigbourhood!
I am currently looking for participants to take part in a study I am conducting with a group of researchers from AUT. Heres the link bit.ly... and official invitation below :).

We would like to invite you to take part in our study. We are interested in looking at how your outlook and psychological motivations influences scientific beliefs. The study involves a questionnaire that shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes of your time, and as a token of thanks you will have the chance to win one of 10 $50 vouchers.
Please follow this anonymous link to the questionnaire if you are over the age of 16 and fluent in English: bit.ly.... Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Bethany

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
