Hi Neighbours,

At Stuff we have a special partnership launching this week with MetlifeCare, where we get to showcase stories about folk living their best lives in retirement.

We think people of all ages will be interested in reading about the choices older people are making, and about special topics such as small space gardening, and the benefits of keeping moving as you age. And anyone who has lived through - or has picked up general knowledge about - the past five, six, seven or more decades in New Zealand, should have a go at our nostalgia quiz. It’s a fun one.

Today, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting & welcoming Kate Russell, CEO of Supply Nation, Jenny Wardrop, Interim Head of Membership Services at Supply Nation and Beau Hodge of Baidam Pty Ltd to The Pacific Business Hub.

Kate, her team & their delegation of First Nations businesses from Australia are here to attend the Amotai - Supplier Diversity NZ Summit. Supply Nation is the Australian leader in supplier diversity. They bring together the biggest national database of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with the procurement teams of Australia’s leading organisations to help them engage, create relationships and do more business. They currently work with 5,000 verified indigenous businesses.

We appreciate this opportunity to showcase our work & what we do to support Pacific businesses here in Aotearoa, NZ and sharing our plans for expansion into Australia and the Pacific region with Kate & guests.

This was also an amazing opportunity for some of our HUB Connect Pacific business members to sit & have a talanoa together & do a little bit of networking with our guests. Much gratitude to our members for taking time out of their business schedules to be with us 🙏🏽

We acknowledge Joe Fuavao & Philippa Hawken Senior BDMs from Australia Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) & Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) for facilitating this meeting. Faafetai mo le avanoa 🙏🏽

Poll: Higher Speed Limits

Will higher speed limits be a net benefit to NZ (when considering alleged economic gains, probable increase in planet warming emissions and probable increase in severity of road accidents).

Am I missing something? .. or perhaps Simeon Brown (Minister of Transport) is an unabashed "petrol head" who wants higher speed limits at any cost?

A vehicle traveling at a steady 110 kph would save only 5.5 minutes over another that is traveling at a steady 100 kph. Is it a worthwhile saving? Is there anywhere in NZ that it is safe to travel at a steady 100 or 110 kph for 100 km?

Would a truck and trailer unit still tailgate at 110? (even though the heavy vehicle speed limit is currently 90 kph).

Would the savings of a few minutes, here and there, compensate for the increased severity of road accidents (with associated economic costs) and NZs increased liability for greenhouse emissions?

Higher Speed Limits
  • 70% Yes .. net benefit
    70% Complete
  • 10% No net benefit or loss (neutral)
