What do you make of these comments?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Hamilton councillor Andrew Bydder believes it’s ‘absolutely acceptable’ for his constituents to hurl profanity laden abuse at him in order to get him to do his job.

And he contended lowering debate among the city’s leaders around the council table to a similar prison-yard level could ‘improve governance’.

The comments come after an expletive laden submission Bydder sent to neighbouring Waipā District Council over constructing a third bridge in Cambridge.

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!

Karen from Te Awamutu

I have some lime stones that I want to sell. No longer want anymore, so I need them gone. If anyone wants them, come and have a look and see for yourself.
