What do you think about the occupation of Ihumātao?

Mandy Te Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, the rally at Ihumātao has been called a watershed moment for this generation which can't be ignored. Since last week, hundreds of people have been occupying the Ihumātao site. Fletcher Building wants to develop the land for 480 houses but building on the site has stopped until a solution is reached.

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!
