Poll: How confident are you feeling about our economy right now?
We’ve all seen the headlines lately — New Zealand’s economy shrank more than expected between April and June (down 0.9%).
(If not, you can read a summary of the June quarter's activity on this article published by the Post)

(If not, you can read a summary of the June quarter's activity on this article published by the Post)
Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Poll: Hybrid Work ... Game-Changer or Culture Killer? 🚀
Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working — splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.
But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

Poll: Will we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
Share your thoughts in the comments!
-
25.7% Yes - through government, community and individual action.

33.5% No - this is not a realistic goal.
-
38.5% Maybe - perhaps adjust the goal to 'predator management'?

2.3% This is a nuanced issue (share in the comments).
