Learning about Jazmine Mary, on East FM, Saturday from 3pm

Phil from Farm Cove

It’s with old-time folkster joy that we have a rising star on the NZ Music scene, Jazmine Mary, as featured artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, June 24) on East FM.
We’ll be talking live with Jazmine Mary at 3.30pm, chatting about their (yes, it’s plural) album, Dog, that’s getting rave reviews. We’ll go on a voyage of discovery and play most of the tracks.
Since its release a few weeks back, it has been No. 1 on the SRN chart, No. 5 on the Alt-Radio airplay chart, and in the Top 20 Hot NZ single chart.
They’re about to embark on a national tour, and the Auckland tour date is with the amazing Julia Deans, who is opening, on July 8 at The Hollywood Cinema, in good-old Avondale. That will be a very special double-header concert. For tickets:

Jazmine Mary was the 2022 award winner of the Auckland Live best independent debut, at the Taite Music Awards. jazminemary.bandcamp.com...

For the remainder of She’ll Be Right, we’ll take a tour around other musical neighbourhoods and no doubt play some old-new material acquired at the third East FM Vinyl Records and Music Memorabilia Fair at Howick Information Centre, Saturday, June 24, from 8am to 2.30pm. Free entry. Bargains galore, we reckon.
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. And tomorrow we discover Jazmine Mary. – PJ

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
