Neighbours is one of the biggest wastes of paper of all time but for some reason I can't fathom, it's one of their bigger revenue sources as it gets delivered to those without Herald subscriptions in order to get people advertising flyers. Why can't they just deliver the flyers?

Contrast the fortunes of the Herald with the success (and tree destroying power) of free commuter papers like Metro. People seem perfectly happy getting their daily news fix from casual free papers like that rather than a full blown newspaper. And those that want in-depth coverage and good articles will turn to news magazines. Seems no place for the middle ground newspaper to survive and flourish.
