Scam

Sara from Hillsborough

Hi everyone,

Just in case nobody has mentioned it yet, I wanted to let you know of a scam.
I received an email from a person I don't know which poses as an order confirmation thanking me for my purchase and confirming the order has been shipped.
I didn't order anything recently so I was confused.
It makes it look like 'you' made your purchase through Paypal.
So I checked my Paypal for any activity but thankfully, it's all okay there.

Don't call their phone number or reply to the email if you receive something similar. Instead go check your accounts to ensure everything is in order. If you feel uncertain, change your passwords.

Cheers
Sara

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.

Some Choice News!

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!
