Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

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 itโ€™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.

โ€˜Tis the season to not get scammed ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedinโ€™s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œA good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the sellerโ€™s Facebook profile was created. If itโ€™s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.โ€
๐Ÿ”’ Another important step is to make sure the sellerโ€™s profile name and bank account name match up. โ€œWeโ€™re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - thatโ€™s a huge red flag."
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œWhen youโ€™re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œQuite frankly, itโ€™s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
๐Ÿ”’ "If youโ€™re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if itโ€™s stolen or if thereโ€™s money owed on it.โ€

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
