Poll: Should people donate to Givealittle pages for The Block contestants?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

On Sunday The Block houses went to auction and a controversial decision, which saw Andy and Nate's house, which was initially passed in, was sold for the highest profit at a shock second auction that no one expected. They effectively snatched the win from Stace and Yanita.

Since then, The Block losers, Ling and Zing, have had a Givealittle page set up for them - as well as Stace and Yanita.

What are your thoughts about this season's win?
Do you think the Givealittle pages should have been set up for these two teams?

Stace and Yanita's page has raised approximately $2,400, while Ling and Zing's page has raised over $18,300.

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.
