I'm going to start a podcast but also collect views for a website. I'm looking for people to interview, either face-to-face or via Skype. The starting question is: "Would You Move To Planet Earth?". There would have to be reasons why you need to leave your home planet now but the idea is to explore your thoughts about where our planet is now and where it might be heading. Are concerns hoaxes, critical or somewhere in between? I won't steer you with my views - it's your perspective that I want. You can contact me at mark.findlayrd@gmail.com. I promise to be patient, polite and appreciative, all rolled into one!

That’s what the Graeme Dingle Foundation does. Our programmes help young people thrive, develop confidence in who they are to make the most of their precious lives and become positive contributors to our communities.
We are proud to be the official charity of New Zealand Rugby.
Together we’re showing Kiwi Kids that what they have inside is greater than any obstacle.
Hi neighbours,
With Pukekohe growing so rapidly, do you think our reputation as New Zealand's food bowl is under threat?
The horticultural value of our area seems to be on track for a head-on collision with the Auckland Council's wider plan for the area. What do you think?
