Bauer Media NZ is closing its doors permanently, staff have been told.The New Zealand wing of the company publishes a range of New Zealand magazines including the NZ Woman's Day, New Zealand Woman's Weekly, The Australian Women's Weekly, the Listener, North & South, Next, Metro, Kia Ora, Home NZ and Your Home & Garden.Listener columnist and media commentator Bill Ralston was shocked by the news.He told Newstalk ZB's Chris Lynch it stems from the Government's decision not to count magazines as essential services during the lockdown."It's a bloody tragedy really. It's magazines, your Home and Garden, Australian Women's Weekly."I've argued against the idea of shutting down the magazines [during the lockdown]. The magazines were being run basically by home."The printers were already printing the daily newspapers. so they were already there. You weren't putting them at risk.Ralston said German-owned Bauer has decided to take a "bunker mentality"."They've decided to take their money, whatever they had left, and they weren't prepared to run on any extra cost."You can't sell advertising, you can't sell magazines, so they've decided pretty obviously that they don't want to sustain the loss."
The Burnt Country is an enthralling story of integrity, resilience and resistance, from the author of the bestselling The Woolgrower’s Companion. The stunning new novel from the author of The Woolgrower's Companion, whom the Australian Women's Weekly described as ‘a wonderful new voice in literary rural fiction'. A scandalous secret. A deadly fire. An agonizing choice. Australia 1948. As a young woman running Amiens, a sizeable sheep station in New South Wales, Kate Dowd knows she’s expected to fail. And her grazier neighbour is doing his best to ensure she does, attacking her method of burning off to repel a bushfire. But fire risk is just one of her problems. Kate cannot lose Amiens, or give in to her estranged husband Jack’s demands to sell: the farm is her livelihood and the only protection she can offer her half-sister Pearl, as the Aborigines Welfare Board threatens to take her away. Ostracised by the local community for even acknowledging Pearl, Kate cannot risk another scandal. Which means turning her back on her wartime lover, Luca Canali ... Then Jack drops a bombshell. He wants a divorce. He’ll protect what’s left of Kate’s reputation, and keep Luca out of it – but for an extortionate price. Soon Kate is putting out fires on all fronts to save her farm, keep her family together and protect the man she loves. Then a catastrophic real fire threatens everything . . . ‘This sweeping epic set in rural NSW is about love, family and testing our mettle – and it’s compulsively readable. Just the thing for those lazy summer days’ Marie Claire on The Woolgrower's Companion 'Joy Rhoades’ Kate Dowd is Elizabeth-Bennet-meets-The-Drover’s-Wife . . . an accomplished debut' Sydney Morning Herald
