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?

We still have 135 long-stay animals in our care, waiting to find their forever homes! ? If you can provide the right home for them, you can adopt for just a donation/koha when you start the process by this Sunday, September 21st.

These wonderful animals have been waiting patiently for their special someone – could that be you? ? You might need to travel a bit further than your nearest SPCA Center, but we promise they're worth the journey.

Even though we’re waiving our standard adoption fees for our long-stays, every animal is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms – all ready to head home with you. Meet all of our long-stays on our site now!

How to cast a special vote in a local election

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

✅✅ You may need to cast a special vote in a local election if:

• your new address on the electoral roll is out of date, and you have been living at a new address for at least a month

✅✅ You may need to cast a special vote in a local election if:
• you enrolled after the roll closed on 1 August 2025
• you are on the unpublished electoral roll
• your new address on the electoral roll is out of date, and you have been living at a new address for at least a month
• your voting papers are lost or damaged
• you are voting as a ratepayer elector (for a property you own that is in a different council area to the one you live in).

If you need to cast a special vote in the local election, you can do this by mail or in person at a ‘special voting location’.

Your local council will publish a list of special voting locations, and when they are open, on their website. You can find your local council website here: lgnz.co.nz.... The locations are usually public libraries.

If you cannot get to a special voting location, you can contact the Electoral Officer at your council to request a special voting pack. Do this as soon as possible so you can meet the deadline for posting your vote by mail, which is 7 October 2025. After this date, votes must be returned to council’s secure ballot boxes by midday 11 October 2025 when voting closes.

You can find out who is running for council in your local area and what they stand for here: policy.nz/2025
