The Mish: Your must-read email newsletter for all things Dunedin
From Dunedin reporter Hamish McNeilly:
Last week we launched The Mish - a newsletter bringing you the news from New Zealand’s greatest city.
I’ve been covering everything (and I mean everything) since moving here 14-years ago.
I’ve written about students avoiding lockdown and heading south, the poisoning of an infant, the Highlanders partying and annoying their neighbours, and a controversial weight loss device.
In the first issue of The Mish, I revisited the death of Colin Bouwer, who poisoned his wife in Dunedin. He died in South Africa a year after being deported from New Zealand after serving a lengthy prison sentence.
I also talked to jailhouse lawyer Arthur Taylor, who just so happens to be the proud owner of a former police vehicle - complete with a memorable number plate.
I’m totally committed to cover Dunedin. That isn’t going to change. Now you can read all about the city on Substack.
Thanks to Substack and Stuff. I’m giving newsletter writing a crack. So please sign up (it’s free!), and tell me what you think.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.9% Other - I'll share below

I make my living by bringing the heat.
