Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

David Gaughan, the owner of Eagle Brewing and the Port & Eagle Brewpub in Kaiapoi, has been roundly criticised after he called Māori men “New Zealand’s biggest problem” in a Facebook rant.

Business partners deserted him in droves following the post.

He later apologised for his “completely unacceptable” comments and said he hoped his business would be given a second chance.

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!
