Mongrel Mob offers to stand guard over Hamilton mosque

Fiona from Henderson

Now this is either going to swing one way or another. I pray that it is going to be positive.
We all have very strong feelings one way or another for any gangs in New Zealand (and internationally).
Putting those aside, the haka they performed in Christchurch was fantastic, this current offer of guarding the Hamilton Mosque, and other offers shows that there is support, solidarity and compassion in these hardened criminals.👍👍
To quote from this article, "It's not the first offer of support from New Zealand gangs. Multiple members from different groups have joined together to show their grief, laying flowers at memorials around the country."
I extend my heartfelt thanks to them for this magnificent gesture.
I do pray that they can teach and/or pass this sincere heartfelt sign of kindness & compassion to their young ones and to the rest of their gangs who feel a bit nervous about being in the public knowing how most of the public feel about them.😊
There are lessons to be learned by all of us, compassion is so easy to give and to receive, and there is more than enough love to go around 10 times over for each and everyone of us.
💞 Kindness, compassion & above all, love is what we New Zealanders are all about 💞

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!
