With the local body elections coming up next month, we are planning to run candidate profiles in the Hauraki Herald, but I'm curious to know how you decide who to vote for? Do hoardings help or hinder your choice? Do you attend meet the candidate events? Or does word of mouth play a big part? Or, when the election forms are delivered, do you pick the most recognisable name?

Hi neighbours - a wild piglet found on the road in Thames has become best friends with an ex-pig hunting dog.
They sleep together, play together, chill out on the couch together and even have the same surname.
What are some unlikely friendships you've come across? 🐾
People either loved them or hated them, and now they're up for sale.
The giant 1990's Big Fresh Supermarket fruits and veges are up on Trade Me, with over 700 people adding them to their watchlist.
Did you enjoy seeing them on your grocery shopping outing?
