Please don't feed kākā as they are starting to pair up at this time of year and will soon be starting families. To ensure kākā chicks are healthy their parents need to eat a natural diet. We recommend planting kākā friendly plants, such as kowhai, five-finger and tree fuchsia if you want to attract them to your garden. www.youtube.com...

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!
