Nau mai, haere mai! Maaori midwives!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Nau mai, haere mai! If you’re a Maaori midwife looking to support whaanau in the Counties Manukau rohe, we’d love for you to join our Maaori midwifery roopu. Our values of whakawhanaungatanga, manaakitanga, kotahitanga and rangatiratanga support our desire to meet the needs of our Maaori birthing population, which currently sits at 20.3% of total births.

We’re open to exploring the design of roles to suit midwifery practice. Come to us with a great career idea, or perhaps an innovative plan to further meet the needs of our whaanau.

For more information and to have a koorero on the midwifery opportunities in Counties, please contact heather.muriwai@middlemore.co.nz or visit our Careers website: bit.ly...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
