9Mar20 0702 #4 Corona virus: septic tanks
Septic tanks Some of us have them Earlier this morning Monday 9Mar20 I talked to Healthline 0800 358-5453 and Auckland Council's help phone-line 09 301-0101 What precautions if any should we take with our septic tank outflows if one of our households has to go into isolation? Many of us have pets, some of us have horses, pigs, sheep etc And the autumn/winter rains are coming. Healthline had done no thinking about this. They rightly suggested I call Auckland Council. I did. They were surprised. Topic probably hasn't come up until now. They will get back to me today.

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!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
