New Zealand Epilepsy education petition

Erin from Brookfield

Hello,
I'm currently running a petition through parliament to make epilepsy education, training and awareness mandatory in schools. I believe that there is a significant lack of education around the issue in schools, that many students are unsure of what to do when someone has a seizure, and that people often treat people living with epilepsy differently. I want to make New Zealand students who are living with epilepsy, no matter how bad their symptoms, feel more accepted in school rather than judged or isolated. I want them to know that if they were to have an unexpected seizure they are in a safer environment. I would greatly appreciate any signatures and support!

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.
