Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

The figures were not available for each week over Xmas/New Year but the new cases for last week are correct and we are in the throws of another 'wave' which Xmas will surely have contributed to, although it was rising pre-Xmas.
If you have or think you have COVID-19, please do not keep it a secret from workmates, let them have the choice to take a risk working with you, or not, or wear a mask, even if you will not.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
