GOVT CUT HISTORIANS

Linda from Foxton

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is disestablishing four of its five senior historian roles, to try and save money to meet new budget targets.
These historians are people who maintain the official record of New Zealand: websites like Te Ara the New Zealand Encyclopedia and NZHistory.net.
Former Chief Historian Jock Phillips is also a former general editor for Te Ara. He joins Emile to discuss what some have called a 'war on history'. LISTEN HERE:

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
