Thousands of burgers were consumed in Porirua during Burger Wellington’s scrumptious competition last month, providing a welcome boost for local eateries.

Eleven venues across the city were among more than 200 that took part in the two-week long Visa Wellington On a Plate promotion, supported by Garage Project. This gave many of our local chefs the chance to go big on the ingredients, creating some mouth-watering winter burger options.

While Wellington’s One80 Restaurant took out the overall award, the winning Porirua burger, decided by public vote, was t bay café’s The Hot Chick. It featured honey-fried chicken, jalapeno slaw, sweet and spicy pickles, pickled red onions and house-made aioli. Hungry yet? It had a beer match with Garage Project’s T Sauce beer.

All up, thousands of burgers were sold across the city, some eateries managing to make more than 1000 on their own.

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.

Know your conspiracies

Simply put, conspiracies leak and conspiracy theories don't. It's impossible to conspire without exchanging information and in today's tech world that's a major vulnerability. Genuine conspiracies are discovered through whistleblowers leaking that information.The Edward Snowden papers and the Cambridge Analytica scandal are examples. The Panama Papers conspiracy [to hide wealth] alone featured eleven and a half million leaked emails. The most famous conspiracy of all only involved fifteen plotters who met in the Duck and Drake pub in London, yet it was was betrayed unintentionally by a leaked letter. The Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot to assassinate King James I and the English parliament was thwarted and we still celebrate that over four hundred years later. So, no leaks no conspiracy, just a theory...and anyone can make one of those up.
