Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

Encouraging drop but Canterbury is still the highest region with 705 new cases, which might explain why I am still hearing quite a few cases with people I know.
Because of that, I was expecting the total to be higher, so that was a pleasing surprise.
Stay safe people.

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.
