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.”

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.

Scene examinations and further enquiries are ongoing today as Hamilton Police continue to investigate a homicide.

Emergency services were called to a Lake Crescent address at about 6:15pm last night, where it emerged two people had been injured.
One of the victims later died at the scene, and the other was taken to Waikato Hospital in serious condition.

Detective Inspector Daryl Smith, District Manager Criminal Investigations, says scene examinations are being conducted at two locations.

“We have officers working at the Lake Crescent address, and also at a second location of interest, several hundred metres away – the toilet block at the yacht club.”

Detective Inspector Smith says Police are actively working to locate those involved, and ask anyone who may have information that could help Police who has not already spoken with us to come forward.

“We believe those involved have travelled on foot between our two scene locations, so we would encourage anyone who may have seen anything in the area to contact us,” he says.
“We know this will be an unsettling time for those in our community that such violence occurred in a public place.
I can reassure people we are working hard to hold people to account.”

How to contact Police
Information can be reported online at 105.police.govt.nz, and clicking “Update Report”, or by calling 105.
Please use the reference number 251218/5897.
Anonymous reports can be made through Crime Stoppers, by calling 0800 555 111.
