Good People

The film night for Thursday 4th September for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the classic French comedy, Riviera Revenge.

Our 8pm screening is the documentary Mozart's Sister which explores the dazzling talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang.

RIVIERA REVENGE
France, comedy (subtitles), 2024
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: André Dussollier, Sabine Azéma

Ex French general François and his wife, Annie have been married for five decades and are enjoying all the perks of retirement.

François is tidying the attic one day, only to find love letters from Annie's secret affair with a man called Boris from 40 years ago.

Does François turn the other cheek and celebrate their 50 years of being together, or does he use his espionage skills to track down Annie's former lover?

Hell-bent on justice, François scours the Côte-d'Azur, determined to confront Boris, even if it means losing what he holds most dear in the process. It’s vengeance but it's French Riviera-style - with stunning backdrops and a whole lot of heart.

" A comedy anchored by two veterans of French cinema who know how to tease out every nuance of love, regret, passion and humour ." - Irresistible magazine

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
