Now, I don't know about you, but I'm taking this latest talk of a second Auckland Harbour crossing with a gigantic grain of salt. The development today is that Chris Bishop has revealed the Government will announce its preferred option for a second crossing by mid-year - so I suppose you could say June-ish or July-ish - and they will decide between a tunnel or a bridge. And while I really want to get excited about it, because Auckland needs this crossing and has been waiting decades for it, I cannot get excited. That's because I can see what's going on here. It's an election year and National is in danger of losing Auckland, which means potentially coming quite close in the election - as in, potentially losing it. Unlikely, but possible. So the easiest way to win favour in Auckland is to promise something big and shiny, like a bridge. Have we been here before? Yes, we have. Do you remember Michael Wood's boomer bike bridge to Birkenhead? Where are we with that? We spent $51 million-plus on consultants, and in the end it got ditched. Now, I have a strong suspicion that whatever Chris Bishop announces mid-year will go exactly the same way because we cannot afford it. I want us to be able to afford it, because we need it, but Chris Bishop is already scaling back on the Roads of National Significance that he announced before the last election. That's because we don't have the funding for those roads - because we haven't increased the fuel excise tax in what will shortly be seven years. So if we don't have the funding for those roads, why would we have the funding for this bridge? Now, unless there is committed funding and an absolutely rock-solid commitment from Labour to continue with the project if they were to win the election - or subsequent elections - I think we can see this for what it is: the cheapest and easiest pre-election trick to play on Aucklanders.

While the biggest audience for true crime content is young women, it's not often that anyone considers the every growing cultural phenomenon through a feminist lens. What do podcasts, documentaries and tv shows get right about revealing the reality of crime against women? And do we benefit from being more about what violence can (and has) happened against women throughout history?This week, our hosts Ione and Gina are joined by The Polyester Podcast editor and host of Crime Next Door: The Beast of Birkenhead, Olivia Graham, to explore the complex feelings surrounding the genre from behind the mic, as a consumer and as a society that often depersonalises femicide.Support our work and become a Polyester Podcast member

Today's poem is a sonnet for a war-torn world with a collapsing center. “…As the oldest of four children born in rapid succession, Wilfred developed a protective attitude toward the others and an especially close relationship with his mother. After he turned four, the family moved from the grandfather's home to a modest house in Birkenhead, where Owen attended Birkenhead Institute from 1900 to 1907. The family then moved to another modest house, in Shrewsbury, where Owen attended Shrewsbury Technical School and graduated in 1911 at the age of 18. Having attempted unsuccessfully to win a scholarship to attend London University, he tried to measure his aptitude for a religious vocation by becoming an unpaid lay assistant to the Reverend Herbert Wigan, a vicar of evangelical inclinations in the Church of England, at Dunsden, Oxfordshire. In return for the tutorial instruction he was to receive, but which did not significantly materialize, Owen agreed to assist with the care of the poor and sick in the parish and to decide within two years whether he should commit himself to further training as a clergyman. At Dunsden he achieved a fuller understanding of social and economic issues and developed his humanitarian propensities, but as a consequence of this heightened sensitivity, he became disillusioned with the inadequate response of the Church of England to the sufferings of the underprivileged and the dispossessed. In his spare time, he read widely and began to write poetry. In his initial verses he wrote on the conventional subjects of the time, but his work also manifested some stylistic qualities that even then tended to set him apart, especially his keen ear for sound and his instinct for the modulating of rhythm, talents related perhaps to the musical ability that he shared with both of his parents.In 1913 he returned home, seriously ill with a respiratory infection that his living in a damp, unheated room at the vicarage had exacerbated. He talked of poetry, music, or graphic art as possible vocational choices, but his father urged him to seek employment that would result in a steady income. After eight months of convalescence at home, Owen taught for one year in Bordeaux at the Berlitz School of Languages, and he spent a second year in France with a Catholic family, tutoring their two boys. As a result of these experiences, he became a Francophile. Later these years undoubtedly heightened his sense of the degree to which the war disrupted the life of the French populace and caused widespread suffering among civilians as the Allies pursued the retreating Germans through French villages in the summer and fall of 1918.In September 1915, nearly a year after the United Kingdom and Germany had gone to war, Owen returned to England, uncertain as to whether he should enlist. By October he had enlisted and was at first in the Artists' Rifles. In June 1916 he received a commission as lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment, and on December 29, 1916 he left for France with the Lancashire Fusiliers.”-via Poetry Foundation This is a public episode.

This week we are heading of the southern coast of South Africa for a cautionary tale of what can happen as a result of multiple little mistakes. With questions regarding the design, the decision making of the crew, the impact of various 'improvements' and the general maintenance of the lifesaving equipment on board the HMS Birkenhead, there should have been concerns about sailing it through a region called 'Danger Point'. At the very least it might have been considered risky to have multiple women and children on board (especially as they were sailing toward an active war zone).However even the most pessimistic of people probably wouldn't have been able to predict just how wrong things could go...All in all a perfect introduction to the world of Consistently Eccentric for our newest guest host, Flynn Heathcote. Hopefully it is not so depressing that we put him off guesting on anymore stories in the future.Guest Host: Flynn Heathcote Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; (Hebrews 6:19) 1/ The hope we have . 2/ What this hope is to a soul - an anchor. 3/ Where the anchor enters and holds - within the veil . This sermon was preached at Providence Chapel, Birkenhead, England. *Sermon Summary:* The message sets forth hope as a steadfast anchor for the soul, particularly in the face of potential spiritual falling away. Drawing from Hebrews 6, it emphasizes that true hope is rooted not in outward professions or works, but in the unchanging promise and oath of God, ultimately pointing to Christ's presence within the veil. While acknowledging the importance of bearing fruit and demonstrating faithfulness, the message underscores that assurance of hope rests on God's work, not human effort, and encourages believers to cling to this secure foundation amidst trials and temptations, anticipating the fulfilment of their hope in Christ's return.

Cette règle, vous le savez, est souvent associée aux scènes de naufrages maritimes, où elle est censée guider l'évacuation des passagers en donnant la priorité aux personnes perçues comme les plus vulnérables. Mais d'où vient vraiment cette règle ? Est-elle une tradition ancienne, une norme sociale… ou un mythe romantisé par la littérature et le cinéma ?Une origine bien précise : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead (1852)La formule prend racine dans un événement réel : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead, un navire militaire britannique, survenu le 26 février 1852 au large des côtes d'Afrique du Sud.Le navire transportait environ 640 personnes, dont des soldats et quelques femmes et enfants. Lorsqu'il heurta un rocher, les embarcations de sauvetage étaient en nombre insuffisant. Le commandant donna alors l'ordre de faire embarquer en priorité les femmes et les enfants, pendant que les soldats restaient au garde-à-vous sur le pont, sans paniquer.Grâce à cette discipline exceptionnelle, toutes les femmes et les enfants survécurent, tandis que près de 450 hommes périrent. Ce sacrifice héroïque inspira l'expression « the Birkenhead drill », qui désignait cette conduite de calme et de discipline face à la mort.Une règle sociale… plus qu'une loiContrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, il n'existe aucune loi maritime internationale imposant « femmes et enfants d'abord ». Il s'agit plutôt d'une norme morale et culturelle, valorisée par l'imaginaire victorien puis par la littérature et le cinéma, comme dans Titanic.Cependant, son application a été très inégale dans l'histoire. Par exemple :Lors du naufrage du Titanic en 1912, le capitaine ordonna effectivement de donner la priorité aux femmes et aux enfants. Résultat : 74 % des femmes mais seulement 20 % des hommes survécurent.À l'inverse, lors du naufrage du Lusitania en 1915, dans un contexte de panique totale, aucune règle de priorité ne fut respectée.Une construction culturelleCette règle renvoie à des valeurs paternalistes héritées du XIXe siècle : les femmes sont vues comme fragiles, les enfants comme innocents, et les hommes comme protecteurs. Elle a été largement romancée et idéalisée, surtout dans les récits anglophones. En réalité, lors de nombreuses catastrophes, c'est souvent l'instinct de survie qui domine, et la priorité aux plus vulnérables dépend davantage du capitaine, du contexte et du chaos que d'une règle universelle.En somme, « femmes et enfants d'abord » est une belle idée, parfois appliquée, parfois trahie, mais toujours chargée d'un poids symbolique fort, reflet des normes d'une époque… et des histoires qu'on aime se raconter face au drame.

In 1920, in the Cammell, Laird & Co. shipyard in Birkenhead, a ship was built that would change the shipbuilding industry and shipyards forever. ss Fullagar was the world's first fully welded ocean-going ship. For generations, ships' iron and steel hulls had been held together with rivets, put in place by specialist teams of riveters. In 1920 electric arc-welding was not a new technology but hitherto had only been used for repair, rather than construction. Fullagar changed that forever, though the technology was adopted slowly. No longer would vast teams of highly skilled and well-paid riveters populate the dockyards. This was a moment when technology took away the livelihood of thousands and changed forever the techniques of shipbuilding and the culture of the shipyards. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Max Wilson, head archivist of Lloyd's Register, the maritime classification society that surveyed and classed Fuallager, overseeing this novel design and pivotal moment in maritime history.

A man is in a critical condition in Auckland Hospital after a stabbing on the city's North Shore this afternoon. Police were called to the scene on Birkenhead Avenue just after 2:00pm after the victim was found injured. Reporter Finn Blackwell was at the scene and spoke to Lisa Owen.

Russell Edwards is the author of "Naming Jack the Ripper". Edwards, originally from Birkenhead, has after years of dedicated research produced what he calls "the definitive evidence to prove the identity of the world's most famous murderer: Jack the Ripper" thanks to modern DNA testing. Through this we will look into the names of suspects and how Russell used modern DNA testing to conclude the real Killers name. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

This week: welcome to Planet Elon. We knew that he would likely be a big part of Donald Trump's second term, so it was unsurprising when this week Elon Musk was named – alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – as a co-leader of the new US Department of Government Efficiency, which will look at federal government waste. When Musk took over Twitter, he fired swathes of employees whose work was actively harming the company, so he's in a perfect position to turn his sights on the bloated federal government. It is, writes Douglas Murray, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strip a whole layer of rot from the body politic. But can he translate his success in the private sector to the public sector? James Ball, political editor of The New European, and Bridget Phetasy, Spectator World contributing editor, joined the podcast to discuss. (02:17) Then: what's next for the Church of England? The nature of Justin Welby's resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury has no historic precedent in the C of E, writes William Moore, of this parish. One certainty is that the Church leadership will now be under enormous pressure to create a new independent body for safeguarding, but who could be next?

This week: welcome to Planet Elon. We knew that he would likely be a big part of Donald Trump's second term, so it was unsurprising when this week Elon Musk was named – alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – as a co-leader of the new US Department of Government Efficiency, which will look at federal government waste. When Musk took over Twitter, he fired swathes of employees whose work was actively harming the company, so he's in a perfect position to turn his sights on the bloated federal government. It is, writes Douglas Murray, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strip a whole layer of rot from the body politic. But can he translate his success in the private sector to the public sector? James Ball, political editor of The New European, and Bridget Phetasy, Spectator World contributing editor, joined the podcast to discuss. (02:17) Then: what's next for the Church of England? The nature of Justin Welby's resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury has no historic precedent in the C of E, writes William Moore, of this parish. One certainty is that the Church leadership will now be under enormous pressure to create a new independent body for safeguarding, but who could be next?

 "The Heist - The Birkenhead Foodtown Robbery" is the story of what happened when armed robbers held up an Amour Guard truck outside Foodtown in Auckland's Birkenhead.

Episode 190 is about the ocean, and a staggering event. The sinking of the HMS Birkenhead off Gansbaai, south of Cape Town - and event which led to the famous phrase women and children first in maritime lore. All of course also linked to the fierce 8th Frontier War of South Africa because there were hundreds of troops on board this ship when it went down - it is believed 445 drowned or were killed by sharks. The chronicle of what happened is riveting. The terrifying ordeal for the survivors of this ship became part of the mid-nineteenth century Victorian consciousness. The sinking of the Birkenhead also remains one of the greatest maritime disasters off South Africa's coast. But the fact that every one of the women and children aboard survived the wreck owing to the gallantry and discipline of the men on board has been immortalised in maritime lore. The soldiers of the British Army regiments, and the sailors and marines under Captain Robert Salmond, jeopardised their own chances of survival by putting the 'women and children first'. It stems from the ongoing 8th Frontier War I've been covering now for a couple of episodes. The British fighting the amaxhosa were in need of reinforcements, particularly the 74th highland Regiment which had already borne the brunt of the fighting along the Amatola ridges and valleys. Mount Misery had caused hundreds of casualties. In many ways, The Birkenhead was also a symbol of the age of innovation, she was one of the first iron-hulled ships ever built for the Royal Navy and was converted into a troop ship. As she was being laid down the Navy switched it's main propulsion to propellor from paddle wheels, so the vessel ended up converted from frigate to troop carrier. The Birkenhead was among the early attempts to marry sail and steam and rigged as a brigantine with two masts, a third being added later. She was powered by two 564 horsepower steam engines from Forrester & Co that drove a pair the 6-metre paddle wheels. . As part of her conversion to a troopship in 1851, a forecastle and poop deck were added to increase her accommodation, and a third mast was added, to change her sail plan to a barquentine. Although she never served as a warship, she was faster and more comfortable than any of the wooden sail-driven troopships of the time, making the trip from the Cape in 37 days in October 1850. However, it was a journey HMS Birkenhead would make for the last time in January 1852. Under command of Captain Robert Salmond, it steamed to Portsmith in the first week of January to pick up troops from ten different regiments, including the 2nd and the 74th. On the 5th January she sailed across the Irish Sea to Queenstown and picked up officers wives and children. All told there were 479 soldiers on board and more than 50 women and children, as well as a crew of 125. That was a total of 693 people stuffed into an iron hull less than 64 metres long and just over eleven metres wide - about the width of a tennis court. Even though she was thought of as well built, the early iron used in shipbuilding was quite brittle and tore easily compared to iron of later ships. Upon arrival at Simons Bay, most of the civilians disembarked, leaving only seven women and 13 children on board. Fuel, food and nine horses and forage were loaded along with more passengers, then HMS Birkenhead set sail again at 18h00 on the 25th February, heading for Algoa Bay and East London. Captain Salmond made a few hasty calculations and sailed close to the the coast heading south east towards Cape Agulhas. Time was of the essence, but two factors transpired against the ship. One was the compasses were registering small errors making navigation tricky, and the other was a strong south-east current was sweeping into Walker Bay and carrying the ship closer to shore than the crew realised. The were heading towards Danger Point, and the rocks.

Wayne Brown's idea is a causeway or series of bridges, from Meola Reef in the central city suburb of Point Chevalier and to Kauri Point in the Northsotre suburb of Birkenhead. Labour's plan for a second harbour crossing that included rail and road tunnels was estimated to cost more than 55 billion dollars. The Government's focus is on an additional crossing for vehicles. Auckland mayor Wayne Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

Angela Roth was born in Birkenhead, UK, and grew up as part of a busy, happy family of 8 children. Secondary school, however, robbed her of the natural self-confidence being part of a loving family had encouraged. Being singled out by a particularly vindictive bully from day 1 of attending her new school, left Angela vulnerable and insecure, and she had no idea who to turn to for help. Angela started her working career as a Police Officer in Greater Manchester, much to the surprise - or even amazement - of her family and friends who hadn't anticipated such a choice for her. at all! Whilst she developed some very positive relationships with some of the other officers, sadly Angela also experienced a different kind of bullying here, along with the sexual harassment that was endemic in the Police Force at that time. But during that time, Angela's empathy and concern grew, for those who faced struggles in life, sometimes from the moment they were born, and for those whose lives had been turned upside down, often through no fault of their own. She found herself supporting and comforting those whose loved ones had tragically been taken; those who had faced trauma of all kinds, and those who were simply lost in the middle of a broken world. When marriage and children took her down a different path, she knew that she was called to serve others through her own personal struggles with tragedy, as well as those she had encountered through her work. In January 2022, Angela founded Succeed From The Start, determined to help and support others with a call on their lives, to forge their own path to successfully building the business of their dreams, out of a firm belief that, 'Together, We're Stronger' !

Today's guest speaks of horrific emotional bullying at school as a teenager. She struggled to make friends after she was accepted to a selective school, and her self-esteem suffered. Her parents had sacrificed to get her into the school, so Angela didn't feel she could complain to them. Instead, she felt guilty for having attracted the abuse. This is all too common for children who are bullied - the feeling that something must be wrong with them. Angela tells me how this impacted her through her adult life, and how she eventually turned around her view of herself. She now helps others who are dealing with the effects of bullying, be that at school or in the workplace. Who is Angela Roth?Angela journey from being badly bullied in school to becoming a leading figure in the heart-centered coaching industry is a testament to her resilience and commitment to helping others. Growing up in Birkenhead as one of eight children, Angela faced significant challenges but emerged with a determination to make a positive impact in the world.Despite enduring bullying throughout her school years, Angela developed a strong sense of empathy and a desire to protect and assist those who were vulnerable. This early experience shaped her character and set her on a path of service and leadership.After pursuing a degree in mathematics, economics, and business at the University of Manchester, Angela joined the police force, driven by her desire to serve the community. Despite facing obstacles such as sexual harassment and corruption within the force, Angela remained steadfast in her commitment to making a difference.

Episode 172: Simple Minds – New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) (1982) - Part 4 In the Northern Hemisphere, it's now officially summertime, and it's also time for Brian and Sarah to wrap up their discussion of the 1982 album from Simple Minds, New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84).  Our hosts find themselves with three more songs on the album to cover, one of which is a single with a video, so there's no shortage of things to talk about with that song. But even the last two tracks on the album generate a lot of discussion from Brian and Sarah.  During the course of the song discussion, a wide variety of topics are brought up, such as: the first Earl of Birkenhead; the perfect setting to kill Green Lantern; the answer to the question “can being completely covered in gold paint kill a person?”; the world's worst museum; a cassette-zine; and the Camp David Peace Accords of 1978. After Brian and Sarah finish discussing the album tracks, it's time for the Extra Credit section. The featured topic is Jim Kerr's side project from 2010: Lostboy! AKA Jim Kerr. Then, to further delay the long-awaited final reviews and ratings of the album, there's a special and exciting announcement from Sarah! Finally, the time comes for Brian and Sarah to deliver their thoughts on the album and their record-adapter ratings. How will this 1982 album—which many consider to be Simple Minds' best work—rank in the eyes of our hosts? All is revealed at the end!

Auckland Transport has opened the shed for a look at the electric ferries it's having built. Just last week AT announced the end of several inner city routes, because operator Fullers360 says it doesn't have the crew to staff them. From the first of October, Fullers will no longer operate the Birkenhead, Te Onewa Northcote Point, and Bayswater routes. AT is scrambling now to find a new operator. In the meantime it hopes its new boats will bring a sea change for ferry commuters. Reporter Finn Blackwell and camera operator Marika Khabazi have this story.

The relationship between Auckland Transport and the ferry operator Fullers has hit very choppy waters over the cancellation of multiple Auckland commuter services. From October Fullers 360 will not longer run the Birkenhead, Te Onewa Northcote Point, and Bayswater services, leaving AT scrambling to find a replacement operator. And there also be significant cuts to the timetable on the Gulf Harbour and Half Moon Bay routes. Auckland Transport says Fullers has quit the routes so it can accelerate its training programme with the company short of 12 crews. But Fullers CEO Mike Horne insists AT has known for months that this was coming.

Fullers is ending its operation of multiple commuter ferry services ..leaving AT scrambling to find a replacement operator. From October 1st, Fullers 360 will no longer operate the Birkenhead, Te Onewa Northcote Point, and Bayswater ferries. And there will be significant cuts to the timetable the Gulf Harbour and Half Moon Bay routes. Fuller has previously told Checkpoint that up to 30 percent of its weekly services were being cancelled due to staff shortages. AT says Fullers can't reliably run the full network and concentrate on training new ferry crew. Stacey van der Putten from Auckland Transport spoke to Lisa Owen.
