Help wanted

Katie from Stanmore Bay

✨ Does anyone have any connections to help my son see his dream car for his 14th birthday? ✨

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart. My amazing son Ollie is turning 14 on October 7th, and he has been absolutely obsessed with cars—especially the Lamborghini Aventador—since he was little. Becoming a car mechanic is his dream, and seeing this car in real life would mean the absolute world to him. 🚗💨

I’m a solo mum of two amazing boys, and right now I’m going through treatment for curable breast cancer. It’s been a tough few months, but we’re holding onto the little moments of joy and hope.

So I’m asking:
Does anyone have any connections to a car dealership, showroom, or collector who has a Lamborghini Aventador and would be willing to let Ollie see it up close? Even just a short visit would light up his world and create a memory he’ll never forget.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and sharing. 💛
Please feel free to DM me or leave me a message here.

With Thanks,
Katie & Ollie

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
