Poll: ๐ŸŽƒ Which New Zealand creature/theme would make the best Halloween outfit?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We are almost half-way through October and Halloween is creeping up on us! (Itโ€™s easy to miss โ€” Christmas decorations seem to be popping up earlier every year!)

The Neighbourly team was having a bit of fun and got to wondering about New Zealand-inspired outfits! ๐Ÿฆ‡

๐Ÿ’ฌ Bonus question: What is the best kind of costume? Funny, scary, DIY, or pop culture themed?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
