Aucklanders' ability to freely use and enjoy the Hauraki Gulf is at risk.

Alan from Birkdale

This is because the Hauraki Gulf Forum, a consultative and advocacy body established under the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act, is about to vote to remove elected councillors and in their place establish an iwi controlled model. If this goes ahead 2.2 million residents in and around the Hauraki Gulf … View moreThis is because the Hauraki Gulf Forum, a consultative and advocacy body established under the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act, is about to vote to remove elected councillors and in their place establish an iwi controlled model. If this goes ahead 2.2 million residents in and around the Hauraki Gulf will lose their ability for democratic accountability. Councils and elected officials won't even be able to ensure your ongoing access to these waterways and boatramps.

This proposal will impact recreational fishing, boating, and swimming in some beaches and could be a barrier to businesses who make their livelihood on the Gulf.
Right now a majority of the Hauraki Gulf Forum’s members, which also includes Ministerial representatives, as well as iwi representatives, are elected Councillors. This is about to change.

The newly formed “Gulf Users Group” has launched a campaign to protect democratic accountability in the Gulf. Consider signing their petition and back the cause via www.GulfUsers.org.nz...

For a long time, New Zealand wine exports have been dominated by Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with small quantities of Chardonnay and Bordeaux blends plus more.

During New Zealand Wine Week (7-11 February 2022), WSET gathered together a panel of three expert educators to discuss emerging wine trends and grape varieties along with the theme of sustainable winegrowing certification (SWNZ) and organics in the New Zealand wine industry.

Here is a part of Celia’s presentation on the grape varieties, regions and the importance of NZ Winegrower’s policy of sustainable wine growing, first introduced in 1995 and the increasing numbers of organic certified wineries.

Oven, Brown, good working order. Element supports x 2 need replacing but elements work perfectly well. Can see tray beneath two front elements has holes but I've simply had the entire tray lined with tin-foil for easy cleaning. Warming drawer beneath oven.
Brand is as per pix - I have no specs. Standard size - W= 600mm x D640mm xH940mm.
Free. Pickup from Hillcrest, North Shore.
Trying not to do the easiest thing which is send it to landfill.
Will check back on My Neighbourly for any interest.
No interest - it'll go to the recycle tip for parts. by Fri 18th Feb.
