Save the Auckland Showgrounds
The fate of the Auckland Showgrounds, unfortunately, exposes a dark side to the Trustees of Cornwall Park. Some commentators have supported the Trustee's decision to get revenue for the Park in any way that continues the legacy of Sir John Logan Campbell albeit at the very expense of the people the legacy was to have benefited. Few of these commentators would be aware of the extreme Trust Board negotiation tactics, forcing the Auckland A&P Association to high-cost mediation through a Pandemic. The fact that the Auckland A&P Association were also forced into liquidation forfeiting $40 million in assets to the Trust Board is a travesty that exposes a news story that is just the tip of an iceberg! Around 100 families who are local Cornwall Park leaseholders have been fighting unsuccessfully for the right to get fair compensation for their property improvements if they are unable to pay new lease costs expected to be up to $3,000 a week. There seems to be a theme to this odious and callous behavior that needs full public disclosure into the Trust Board or we will all lose a fabulous asset of the people.

Panasonic TV leaving NZ from 1st April 2026
❤️ Celebrating Panasonic TVs
For so many Kiwi homes, Panasonic wasn’t just a TV brand — it was a trusted part of the lounge. From the legendary plasma days to their beautiful OLEDs, Panasonic always delivered picture quality that just felt right.
Cinematic colour, rock‑solid reliability, and that classic Panasonic build quality… it’s no wonder so many of us still swear by them.
Even as Panasonic steps back from the NZ TV market, their legacy lives on in thousands of homes across the country. Those TVs will keep going strong for years — because that’s what Panasonic does best.
Here’s to a brand that set the standard for what a great TV should be. ❤️📺
