The Mish: Your must-read email newsletter for all things Dunedin

Angela Quigan Reporter from Stuff

Hey neighbours, this week we've launched The Mish - a free email newsletter bringing you the news from New Zealand's greatest city.

As Stuff's Dunedin-based reporter, Hamish McNeilly has written about about students avoiding lockdown and heading south, the poisoning of an infant, the Highlanders partying and annoying their neighbours, and a controversial weight loss device.

The aim of The Mish is to give you in depth reporting on Dunedin, every week. By subscribing, you will be the first with the news.

In the first issue of The Mish, Hamish revisited the death of Colin Bouwer, who poisoned his wife in Dunedin. He died in South Africa a year after being deported from New Zealand after serving a lengthy prison sentence.

Hamish also talked to jailhouse lawyer Arthur Taylor, who just so happens to be the proud owner of a former police vehicle - complete with a memorable number plate.

And don’t miss your Dunedin tweet and tune of the week!

Hamish is totally committed to cover Dunedin. That isn’t going to change. Now you can read all about the city on Substack.

Sign up (it's free!) and tell us what you think!

Suspicious Guy

Jan from Te Atatu South

Keep an eye on this guy, pretended to read the water meter, then wandered up the drive crowbar in hand when I asked what he wanted he said power and is there a dog.We have smart meters. He opened my neighbours gate (we are 3 units) and went in the back of her place with his crowbar. My son went round there and he took off. Police informed.
