Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐ฐ๐ฒ
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 itโs approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

โTis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedinโs 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.
๐ โA good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the sellerโs Facebook profile was created. If itโs very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.โ
๐ Another important step is to make sure the sellerโs profile name and bank account name match up. โWeโre seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - thatโs a huge red flag."
๐ โWhen youโre 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."
๐ โQuite frankly, itโs 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."
๐ "If youโre buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if itโs stolen or if thereโs money owed on it.โ
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
