The Big Clean-Up
www.bigcleanup.org.nz...
From the organisers:
"When the protesters leave, we will be here. We will put Wellington back together again.
What’s the plan?
So far, we have permission from the Speaker of Parliament, but we’re waiting on mana whenua to decide how best to proceed. We don’t know when the protesters will be gone, so we will do our best to be ready to go when they are.
Sign-up, and we’ll email you as soon as we’re able to move in.
The current plan is for a volunteer crew to move in to clear out rubbish and other waste to make the area safe for a larger ceremony to proceed. Masks and social distancing will be observed.
Our Goals: This is not a counter-protest, or directed at the protesters at all. This is something we are doing for our community, for each other.
Be Strong: The heart of our community hasn’t changed. We are still committed to taking care of each other and upholding our shared values. That is our strength, and we want reaffirm it.
Restore: We want to restore Parliament Grounds as a public space for all, and to make the surrounding spaces feel safe again."

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
