Gordon McLauchlan is a prolific author and keen-eyed social commentator. His latest book is Great Tales from Rural NZ. He has written a number of best-sellers including The Passionless People, a social commentary on New Zealanders (1976), and The Farming of New Zealand, a history of NZ agriculture (1981). Both were updated and reprinted, in 2012 and 2007, respectively.
Gordon will be in conversation with his friend, fellow journalist and Tamahere resident Philippa Stevenson, the Green Party candidate for the Waikato in this year’s general election, on Sunday, July 2, 2-4pm at the St Stephen’s Tamahere church hall, corner of Airport Rd and Tamahere Drive. He will use his more than six decades of observation and writing about all manner of things New Zealand to comment about the current state of New Zealand and, particularly, its farming. He is well placed to comment on Waikato’s main industry as a former editor of the NZ Journal of Agriculture and author of the best seller, The Farming of New Zealand. Attendees are invited to bring along their favourite McLauchlan book to be signed by Gordon. There will be a light afternoon tea and a chance to chat to Gordon. Admission is $5 to cover costs.

"I was suspicious of the establishment at the time. You need to understand, I had grown up a welfare-dependent "half-caste" (I hate that term) boy living with his mother, escaping from a life of alcohol, crime and a level of violence that I would not tolerate for my daughters. An under-achiever, I was expelled from two secondary schools. I feel I had a reason to be angry at "the system".
"Then I became a father. It changed my life. I needed to be a responsible adult caring for a son, then a daughter – eventually seven children. We were young parents and wanted to do only the best for these precious beings.
"I read the pamphlet. It described "studies" in the Netherlands into communities that didn't look like mine, but I took little persuasion. I stated our second child, our little daughter Te Miringa, would not be immunised.
"At the time my wife Tracy was working as a nurse at the local medical centre and immunising children daily. Yet this was my protest against the establishment that I so mistrusted.
"Fifteen months later, we had a scare. Te Miringa became unwell with high fever and a body rash and the doctors were concerned as there was a measles outbreak locally. And I realised the information from the Netherlands did not reflect my reality.
"We got Te Miringa immunised."

As we've got a large gully with a series of ponds I'd like to get some more ducks to give the one we inherited some company. Does anyone locally have an Perkins, Indian Runners, Khaki Campbell or similar for sale?
