Wine Barrels Needed!!!!
Dear Neighbours,
We are a group of year 13 Business studies students from Takapuna Grammar School. As a group, we are trying to form and develop our own innovative company. We are currently under the Yes Program which is an NZ programme that has been set up to encourage innovation and provides the foundation business skills in which will be required by the future business leaders. As a part of our business, our products in which we will be selling are ultimately being made by recycled materials. Therefore hence this current message we were wondering if you had any sustainable goods that we can upcycle, specifically we are looking to upcycle old wine barrels that you no longer have use for and turn them into profitable goods. We would highly appreciate it if you got back in touch with us in regards to potentially having any materials and we would be more than happy to arrange a time to come and pick them up.
Regards Tasteful vintage
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
