Poll: Are you pleased with this Waikato med school news?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

City leaders are hailing a significant milestone in the region’s quest to establish the country’s third medical school in Waikato.

The Government at the weekend gave the project a green light when it announced that an initial cost-benefit analysis to establish a third medical school based at the University of Waikato had been completed and had been found to provide confidence for the project to progress to a full business case.

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!
