I was interviewed for this piece, 16mins in. Fighting the good fight for local radio and news
The tale of two towns - Taupō and Westport - which face losing their last local newspaper. Would local news be covered without them? rnz.co.nz/news/mediawatch/53…

Every EV owner I've spoken to - including this Uber driver - has been a) happy to pay RUCs and b) not happy to pay twice as much as an efficient petrol car pays in fuel tax. And in road danage terms, the AA says the diff between the two is not meaningful nzherald.co.nz/business/uber…

My wife's Ford Fiesta Diesel was the most efficient little thing to run, literally on the smell of an oily rag, until world diesel prices went through the roof. It's a pocket rocket, but we don't take it out of town because of RUC & ridiculous class charges.
Three more weeks of school holidays to go. Suggestions of things to do with the kids around Rotorua - Taupō areas?
I worked at a radio station where this is how things rolled. The #1 sales rep called the shots, the GM just signed the paperwork!
Had the CEO of a billion dollar company on my board.
During a meeting, he gets a call from his #1 sales rep.

"Sorry, that was the boss..."
I respected that attitude - a lot.

Recently I shared my daughter's health journey. It has now been confirmed that we will need to take her to Germany for surgery. It's going to cost well beyond our means so we have started a fundraiser. We would appreciate any help and support. givealittle.co.nz/cause/supp…

Incase you didn't know ...
🌏6:49pm this #Saturday in NZ is the #SpringEquinox. It generally means equal day length/equal nights. It's also the #astronomical beginning of spring.
🌅2am NZST #Sunday is the start of #DaylightSaving in NZ. We spring forward 1 hour to 3am NZDT.
7 yr old daughter asked if we had Prime TV and if I I could put it on. I said we didn’t have it. She was talking about Amazon Prime 😆
Listening to @danfromnz’s flood coverage on @NewstalkZB, which has been excellent. We’re getting smashed with rain in Tauranga too

You guys really don’t get how nasty she was to nzers. Locking citizens out of their own country unless they won a lottery? Where’s the empathy? Never again should we tolerate totalitarian policy like that.
TL;DR
“She promised so much in 2017, won the enthusiasm of so many, and ultimately failed to deliver.”
