🎗️ Thank You, Waitākere Ranges 🎗️

Rizwan from Glen Eden

The people have spoken, and democracy has served its purpose.

Kia ora, neighbours,
Though the results were not in our favour, I accept the outcome with humility and respect for the democratic process. The heart of democracy lies not only in victory but in peaceful participation and accepting the will of the people.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who believed in me, supported my campaign, and cast your vote in my name. Your trust and encouragement have meant more than words can express.

To my family, friends, volunteers, and every member of this wonderful community — thank you for standing with me. I may not have won a seat at the table, but my commitment to serving Waitākere remains as strong as ever.

Let’s continue to work together — with kindness, unity, and a shared vision — to keep our community strong, inclusive, and forward-moving.

This isn’t the end of my journey in community service — it’s merely a new beginning.
Ngā mihi nui,

Rizwan Ahmed QURESHI

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!
