Our Fourth Estate "Demolition"
Does anyone have any ideas about how a concerned NZ Citizen can register a protest against the probable closure of programmes - Sunday, Fair Go, 1 News, NewsHub? Or any other current issues that are likely to negatively affect future life in New Zealand.
I have tried ringing Chris Bishop's community office 04 566 8580 - I got to leave a message.
Chris Bishop's email is chris.bishop@parliment.govt.nz so I'm about to send him an email regarding my concerns; 1 the probable closure of the above programmes and 2 as per the early radio news this morning that Waka Kotahi no longer need to consider climate change in any decision making in future.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
