To win the Taieri seat, Labour's Ingrid Leary and her team attended 134 street corner meetings, knocked on 4150 doors, phoned 11,000 voters and delivered 50,000 brochures.

Leary said she was ready to start work for the electorate, and be part of a strong southern team in Parliament.

Leary relocated from Waiheke Island to Dunedin last year, where she previously went to law school.

She has an impressive CV, including an award-winning career in broadcasting, and a more recent role as the director of the British Council.

Leary said her whole career had been about “creating a space for voices who don't get heard”.

Rachel Brooking​ is celebrating her birthday with a new career.

The Dunedin lawyer, who turned 45 on Sunday, has made it into Parliament as a Labour list MP on the back of the party’s strong election results.

At number 46 on the list, Brooking is now packing her bag and making her way to Wellington, so any birthday celebrations will have to wait.

Brooking said she has had a life-long interest in politics and was one of the people appointed by Cabinet to review the Resource Management Act. She is interested in environment law and hoped to help the Government implement its policies, particularly those surrounding the environment.

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Hi Neighbours,
Hope the week is going well for you 😀. A topic for the senior citizens among us today. Would you love to boost your income well above your pension or superannuation payments? With a small investment compared to traditional bricks & mortar businesses & considering the caliber of our state-of-the-art infrastructure you can begin building your own online business in the Personal Development industry within hours of getting started.

Our organisation has a win-win philosophy & practice & we value the wisdom & lifelong experience of baby boomers. No experience is required given our comprehensive training tools including one-on-one mentoring, daily upskilling zoom calls, uplifting supportive community & step-by-step training tutorials on how to do EVERYTHING.

The beauty of the Personal Development arena is the robustness during recession. Our current format was in it's infancy when the 2008 Global Financial Crisis hit yet continued to grow into what it is today. 2020 saw much of the world go into lock-down in response to the covid-19 outbreak negatively impacting traditional business, companies and thus jobs. Within our organisation business performance did not skip a beat & continues to grow. Three separate businesses owned by New Zealanders during 2020 made profits in the order of $65,000 nzd IN A 30 DAY PERIOD. One of these is a baby boomer just like you. Imagine.... this could be you!

To learn more visit www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz..., fill in your brief details and we will contact you to share more about this amazing opportunity. Get ahead of the really big wave coming (based on performance trajectory so far).

Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!
