However, Murray is definitely not leaving the unit as he accepted the role of V. Pres. and is still an active Search and Rescue volunteer pilot, also actively engaged in personally presenting a Business Plan he has created, to Coastguard, to persuade them to replace the Units aging Cessna aircraft, now reaching the end of its useful life. Look out for a Fund Raising Appeal later this year, and please give generously, The Life You Save May Be Your Own !!

Myrtle rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga trees such as pōhutukawa, mānuka, kānuka and rātā. It also attacks feijoa trees. Severe infestations can kill affected plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings.

And it’s now in New Zealand – sightings have been reported in Kerikeri in Northland, Waitara in Taranaki and Te Kuiti in Waikato.
If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

We won! You were amongst the 32,337 who demanded a thaw of Radio New Zealand’s funding, today the melt has begun.
It's just over a month since we delivered our petition to Parliament, and today the Government responded with a $2.85m funding boost in the budget announced earlier this afternoon! 1
People power has prevailed in this case. The quality independent journalism that RNZ delivers is crucial to maintain our democracy. The Government has finally done something to recognise this.
But, it doesn’t go as far as we’d hoped. Dr Peter Thompson, from the Coalition for Better Broadcasting recently calculated that RNZ is now underfunded by $14m a year. 2
When you compare this boost to the $60 million per year the Government has committed to attracting Hollywood Producers, it does make you wonder about priorities. 3
While we celebrate the $2.85m boost there’s still much more work to do.

You may remember the TV news item 12 April 2017 where the 32,000 signature petition was presented to opposition MPs, in a big block of ice. The government declined to accept it.

The small $2.85m funding boost, will soon be used up to pay the rent on the Auckland building they no longer own. During the eight year funding freeze, the Government said they had to sell it.
The Budget is the usual ‘minimum change, maximum headline’ stunt. Remember, the finance minister was their election campaign manager - he knows all these techniques.
RNZ listenership has risen dramatically. See their Annual Report:

So the people like it, even if the Govt doesn't.
