Restricted access to Auckland Work and Income office following threat

Danielle Clent Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, a threat to staff at a Work and Income centre means those visiting will need identification and a reason why.
On Thursday morning, the Ministry of Social Development's Ōtāhuhu Service Centre in south Auckland was put into lockdown.
A police spokesman said a man who made threats to staff working at the centre on Fairburn Rd earlier in the week was seen outside and, as a precaution, staff closed the doors and contacted police.

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!
