These pests are introduced species, NOT our native wasps. They are five species giving the others a bad name. Attached are a couple of photos taken at the Franklin Farm. They show that eggs and caterpillars don't stand a chance, unless we do something about it. In our neighbourhood there were no butterflies or bees last summer, just bumble bees and wasps.

In this article, Amelia Wade reports on what it’s like to seek employment when you’re 50+. Many factors - from financial to social pressures - are keeping people in the workforce longer. The reality is that times are tough, even for our most experienced workers: of those receiving Jobseeker benefit, a third are 50-64 years old.
We want to know: Have you felt overlooked in the job market?
Do you have advice for your community on how to stand out in an increasingly crowded job seeker market?

In fact, our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) spans 15 times our land area. Despite this, less than 1% of our ocean is highly protected.
Sheridan Waitai, member of One Oceania, argues that New Zealand is failing its obligations, and our failure is being noticed internationally.
Sheridan and others argue that the health of our oceans is declining as they face climate change, overfishing, and pollution. While other nations are championing ocean protection, New Zealand has been quiet on this topic.
We want to know: Are we meeting our responsibilities in the management of our blue territory?

In my younger days, I was a school prefect. I enjoy playing the guitar/violin & photography. My start date for employment is 16 Feb 2026 in central Wellington & preferable to start renting then or 1-2 weeks earlier. Public transport is important to central Wellington for my job. The place would be ideally furnished & walking distance to the supermarket as I will have no car. Character references can be provided. I am fine with flatting, boarding, living alone (preference) eg bed-sit. A bit early, but I thought of investigating now
The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.
Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.
This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!

We hope this news brings a smile!
