Poll: Is $12m for a hardship fund for businesses affected by CRL a good use of taxpayer money?

Danielle Clent Reporter from Central Leader

A hardship fund costing Auckland ratepayers $12 million is to be set up for businesses that have been negatively affected by the construction of the City Rail Link.

The fund was announced by Transport Minister Michael Wood and mayor Phil Goff on Friday morning, and while it was welcomed by the city’s business association, it said it was “long overdue”.

Do you believe this is a good use of taxpayer and ratepayer money?

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!
