An AED for Tahunanui Beach
Hi Everyone,
My grandson, Jordie (11), as part of a school project at Hampden Street School, has committed to raising enough money to install an Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) at Tahunaui Beach in time for Summer.
He decided on this after doing some research and realising that there wasn't adequate coverage for the tens of thousands of visitors the Beach has over Summer. This initiative will inevitably save lives.
Here is Jordie's Givealittle page:

This is a 6 month project and he's in it for the long haul. Every little donation helps so if you can manage a fiver that's awesome. If you can manage more then that's a massive help.
If you need to know anything more then just hit the link above and watch Jordie's video. I hope you'll be inspired as much as I was.

Has anyone got a spare length of a light brown coloured grain vinyl plank maybe left over from your flooring work.
Labour Party Hypocrisy
Well, here we go again. More Labour Party hypocrisy.
Just as Labour MP Rachel Boyack has cried crocodile tears over National not building the promised new Nelson hospital when Labour had promised (showing both how little a Labour promise is worth and the hypocrisy of their tears) to get the hospital started before their term ended we now have Deputy Prime Minister Seymour calling for the Air New Zealand shares owned by the government to be sold.
Now that is to be expected given Seymour’s party policies but what is astounding is Labour’s finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds comments in response.
She tells us Air New Zealand is critical national infrastructure and the Government should not be selling its shares.
Very good, but wait. Labour has clearly (and conveniently) ‘forgotten’ which party privatised Air New Zealand.
In 1989, the Labour Government sold Air New Zealand into private ownership. The sale transferred the airline from being a fully state owned national carrier to a privately owned company. The sale was part of a broader wave of Labour privatisations, also including:
• Telecom (1990)
• New Zealand Steel (1987)
• PostBank (1988)
Labour may well have built state houses for working people (not just beneficiaries like Ardern’s government) in the 1930’s but what have they done since? Very, very little other than to ride on that one good thing ever since and, as we are seeing again and again approaching this election, spent most of their time practicing their hypocrisy. Remember the Kiwibuild promise?
If you want truth in politics beware Labour.
