As you are well aware the General Election is on 23 September 2017. It is under 6 weeks away!
Here are some alarming statistics! One million eligible New Zealanders did not vote in the 2014 Election! They have been described as the missing million! Of these about 750,000 enrolled but did not vote and about 250,000 did not even enrol.
In New Zealand voting is not compulsory (in Australia it is) but enrolment is required by law.
In the last NZ Census (2013) 45% of the population described themselves as Christians. Assuming that the voting & eligibility ratios among the Christian population are the same as the rest of NZ’s population then some 450,000 professing Christians did not vote. Even if we reduced this figure by almost half then a very conservative estimate would be at least 250,000 professing Christians did not vote in the last election!

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: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
