What you need to know:
- The lolly was in Rinda pineapple wrapping.
- It contained approximately 3g of methamphetamine, which is up to 300 regular doses.
- Consuming this much methamphetamine is extremely dangerous and could result in death.
- Ministry of Health are unsure how widespread these contaminated lollies are, so we recommend not eating them.
- It is understood the lolly was in a sealed package that was donated to the Auckland City Mission and that some lollies may have been distributed to people in food parcels.
- People who have consumed them reported an unpleasant chemical taste.
If you or someone you know has eaten one and feels unwell, call 111 immediately.

Thursday July 18th's showcase was the official launch of 35 specially curated digital stories plus 30 Pacific animated songs, demonstrating to our communities the exciting opportunities that the digital space provides to keep our histories, languages and cultures thriving into the future. A beautiful selection of 2D and 3D children's animations was woven together into a multilingual film, telling our Pasifika stories on the big screen. The collection showcased was co-created by PKL alongside local students, teachers, parents, community knowledge holders, elders and digital creatives.
Congratulations Evo Leota, Theresa Tupuola-Sorenson & Tatiana Marich and their amazing team of animators Elizabeth Kumaran (Liz), Herman Aviu, Carmel Adam, Tom Greentree for yet another job well done for the year and an awesome and successful showcase 👏🏽🙌🏽🎉

We’ll also spin the music of Jenny and Renny Hantler, a couple who have spent their lives together playing music and just recorded their first album, Making Memories.
Jesse Wilde and Faith Wilde are coming into the studio at 12.30pm to talk about playing at The Bridge, along with Mema Wilda and her brother Levi Lights On, at Uxbridge Arts and Culture in Howick on Sunday, August 25.
Jesse Wilde is an East Auckland legend who has played across New Zealand for three decades while running his own recording business, Wilde Records Recording Studio, and his daughter Faith Wilde is well on her way to carving out a career in music, having song recordings released and is back after an extended music-oriented time in the United States.
The Bridge, presented by the good folk at Brightside Productions, is an entertaining forum where singer-songwriters and musicians showcase their talents and personalities. It has a fantastic vibe. Performers talk about their compositions and the stories behind them, and of their journeys in the wonderful world of music.
The Bridge also works very well in the great venue of Uxbridge Arts and Culture, in the superb acoustics of the historic and charming Uxbridge Theatre.
Jenny and Renny Hantler are playing at the next concert night of the Eastern Districts Country Music Club, one of East Auckland’s longest running musical institutions.
The show also features performances by Patty Masterton, Huru Rakete, Cay and Millie, and Shaun Ryland, and is held at its usual venue, Bucklands Beach War Memorial Hall, on Wednesday, August 21, 7-9.30pm.
The sleeve notes on Jenny and Renny Hantler’s CD Making Memories read: ‘Music has been the glue that has bonded our family for life. What began as a gift of studio time to record some music for the grandkids has evolved into several sessions to produce an album of tracks, all of which hold treasured memories of our life together.’
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. Providing a platform for NZ music and performance artists to exhibit their talents since ages ago. Ka pai. – PJ
