If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.

A decision worth hundreds of millions in potential dairy trade has been released.

It relates to tariffs and quotas Canada wanted to use to effectively restrict dairy imports from CPTPP countries. New Zealand pushed back.

“Canada was not living up to its commitments under CPTPP, by effectively blocking access for our dairy industry to upscale its exports. That will now have to change,” Trade Minister Damien O’Connor said, in a statement responding to the ruling.

What do you think? Will this have benefits for local farms?
