Gardening = fresh air + flowers... but also a hidden risk.
Legionnaires’ disease is a serious lung infection linked to potting mix and compost.

😷 Use a mask
💧 Dampen the mix
🧼 Wash your hands

If you feel flu-like symptoms after gardening, see your doctor and mention your exposure.

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.
