Poll: Do you like using eftpos?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On the busiest sale day for New Zealand retailers, one of the country’s largest department stores was turning customers away after its Eftpos system went down for hours before it was restored late afternoon.

Around midday on Boxing Day, employees of Hamilton’s Centre Place Farmers stood at the entrance and apologetically told shoppers they could either pay with cash, or they would have to look elsewhere.

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!
