Have you checked out our Hard Yakka series?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
Spending scandals, growing deficits, board sackings: staffers at Waikato DHB have worked through it all in recent years.
But people don't stop getting sick while there's turmoil at the top of the district health board.
Thousands of employees carried on helping patients and keeping health services ticking over. Hard Yakka introduces readers to some of those people.
Our first story in the series here.
We'll have a new one each day over the coming weeks.
So check out the Waikato Times and Stuff for them.

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.⁠
⁠
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."⁠

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
