Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to โexuberanceโ? ๐ฅ
In The Postโs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weโre โallergic to exuberance.โ
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 itโs worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens arenโt seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days โ the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoโs 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!
