The boil water notice affecting thousands of households in Christchurch's east has been lifted for all but about 20 properties. About 14,000 households feared they'd face at least another day without being able to drink from the tap after the water supply in the city's east was found to be contaminated. A public health alert was issued on Saturday afternoon for people in New Brighton, Burwood, Wainoni, Aranui and Southshore after routine testing discovered total coliforms in the Rawhiti water zone. As Tess Brunton reports, the contaminated water has prompted calls for councils to change the way notify vulnerable and immunocompromised communities.

Consumer says insurance premiums have dropped in Auckland- but there's not such good news for people in Wellington and Christchurch. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds has been looking into it and spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

We need to talk about the state of our water infrastructure, this week some Christchurch residents have to boil water, last week Wellington's Moa Point wastewater treatment plant flooded, Aucklanders can't swim in some local beaches after heavy rain - and that's just this summer!

Send a textHello 2026! Lovely to be in you AND lovely to welcome today's podcast star Dr Erin Harrington, Senior Lecturer Above Bar at Canterbury University. An academic at Penny's alma mater (which apparently means nourishing mother...) Erin is one of Showy Ovaries' cleverest interviewees yet, keeping Penny on her toes following her quicksilver brain. Her specialist topics are horror, gynaehorror (horror regarding women's bodies), children's stories (of course!) and cultural activism. She has published a book called Women, Monstrosity and Horror Film, is a trustee of The Word Festival in Christchurch, and is an incredibly prolific and respected reviewer through her own blog; Flat City Field Notes.Penny popped around to her central whare to chat all things fleshy, where they delved into what it is to live with bi-polar disorder and the treatment that saved her life, getting an endometriosis diagnosis and why her holding a microphone could look pornographic. Oh and blood, guts, intestines and chainsaw massacres. Natch. Support the show

Would you like to trade and travel at the same time? There’s not many other opportunities that allow you to make money, carry on with your normal work, and travel. So let’s talk about that really important topic and more right now. Hey there Traders! This is Andrew here The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 623. On holiday in Christchurch. I’m in Christchurch in the South Island here of New Zealand. Been here for a few days with my wife. We went to see a show last night. Caught up with one of our daughters who lives here, and we’re having a great time. Middle of summer. Absolutely beautiful here with the River Avon behind me. My trading day remains the same even when travelling. Now, with being here, trading has carried on exactly the same for me. I’ve just taken the daily chart trades today. It’s just turned 11:00 here, and my trading is exactly the same as if I were at home. And that is one of the beauties of being able to trade properly and to trade the way that we trade. I see so many different people on YouTube and different social media sites where they’re looking for this pattern to happen and they’re looking for this indicator to cross that one and they’re looking at, say, like 5 minute charts and 15 minute charts. And to me, it’s just not realistic. As someone that’s been trading for over 20 years and this year The Forex Trading Coach turned 17 years old, one of the things that I find that our clients love about what we do, and also for myself personally, about what we do, is it’s still thoroughly enjoyable and profitable, but we’re not spending all day looking at charts. My trades today. So right now, I’ve just looked at one daily chart and one 12 hour chart trades at the 5:00 pm New York change of day, which just happens to be 11:00 in the morning here at this time of year. And then that’s it. My trades are done. I will have a look at maybe 5 a.m. New York time, which is tonight. But for people that can’t make the 5 p.m. New York time, it doesn’t matter. Because the beauty of the way that we trade is we are using limit orders. And so you don’t need to be here at this particular time. And when you’re traveling, that is so important because obviously different time zones and you’ve got different events on and things like that. Using limit orders to place trades when it suits you. The way that we trade means that you can put your limit orders on when you get a chance and just leave the trade to do its thing. We have our maximum loss already controlled, so we know the worst that can happen. For me personally, it’s only half a 1% risk per trade, but it also means that if we have a profitable trade on the daily chart today, I’m going to make close to a 3 to 1 return. So in other words, half a percent risk, I will make a 1.5% gain on my account. Now, the beauty of that is you can do that. You can put that across to prop firms, whatever it is that you choose to do, whether it’s your personal account, live account, or prop firm account, and it’s just that one trade taken once a day. And that’s the beauty. For me to trade today, because of course I’d be taking the 12 hour chart trade as well, but I don’t have to place the trades right now. I’ve got hours and hours to place the trades. And so if you’re in Europe, you see how well the changeover of the new day is night time. Well, you can take those trades in the morning. It doesn’t matter. You can say, well, I’ve got work to do. I’ve got things with the family. Take the trades when you get a chance. And because, as mentioned, we use limit orders. And if we’re taking a sell trade where our sell limit is there, the market first needs to move up and that fills the sell limit order. And then we’re looking for the market to move down. Opposite with the buy trade is that we’re looking for the market to first move down. And then the daily chart or the 12 hour chart, you’ve got hours and hours before the market will do that on most occasions. So if you’d like to find out how we do this, how we travel and trade, last year in the US, and this year we’re looking at heading away as well in our winter. And so trading, as mentioned, carries on exactly the same. Massive moves in the market. There’s been some massive moves in the market again this week. So great opportunities to be taking advantage of those moves across the forex pairs, the metals, and the cryptos. We’ve seen huge moves. So it’s been a great week. And nothing better than trading just once or twice a day. Be on holiday, enjoy the great scenery here and the events on in Christchurch. And trading carries on exactly the same. So if you’d like to find out how we can do that and how we can help you to do exactly the same, whether you want to travel or just work or do other things at the same time, that doesn’t mean you’re committed to being glued in front of your charts all day long like so many other people and systems are. Get on my Masterclass Have a look at the link I’ll put here. Have a look at the masterclass that I’ve got here as well. If you’ve never been through the videos and podcasts just like this, the whole library is there, all 623 of them. Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker. And if you’re out there looking for a really good broker, I can highly recommend Blueberry Markets. Of course, they're from Australia, but people from right around the world can trade through Blueberry Markets on their MT5 platform. I’ve just taken my trades today on the Blueberry account, and the spreads are exceptional and market execution is great. Everything about them is great. Their customer service is great. Withdrawing funds is super fast and efficient as well. So I've put a link to Blueberry Markets as well. And I’m off to enjoy the beautiful sights here in the middle of summer in Christchurch. And I’ll see you this time next week. Bye for now.

Christchurch's contaminated tap water has become a nightmare for the mum of an immunocompromised daughter. Kalah Blair spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Acts 12 (ESV) 1 About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword, 3 and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread. […] The post Your Only Comfort in Life and Death (Acts 12) first appeared on Hope of Christ Church.

Spies and other Gods by James Wolff. This spy thriller is set apart from others by being narrated by a kind of collective voice of MI5 - it's the spies watching the spies. Sir William Rentoul, head of the service, takes great umbrage when an anonymous whistle-blower lays a complaint and a smart young parliamentary researcher is brought in to investigate. MI5 are particularly adept at ensuring she makes no progress, but she becomes a part of something much, much bigger, and which also gets Sir William back into the field after years driving an MI5 desk, with predictable results. The Dead Speak by Thomas Coyle. The author learned the science and art of forensics with the Metropolitan police in the UK, before eventually moving to New Zealand, after which he became involved in victim identification after the Boxing Day tsunami, and the Christchurch earthquake in 2011. It's a fascinating account about the training involved, and the painstaking processes which forensic investigators follow in the course of their critical work. It's an easy read although as he says, not for the faint of heart, with a good dose of black humour. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crown has called for the Court of Appeal to dismiss the application filed by the terrorist who massacred 51 worshippers at two Christchurch mosques, saying it lacks substance and has no merit. Australian Brenton Tarrant is calling on the court to overturn his convictions and sentence, after he claims he was forced into pleading guilty by the torturous conditions he experienced in prison. The five-day hearing has concluded in Wellington. Reporter Timothy Brown was in court and spoke to Lisa Owen.

A Christchurch councillor's calling for a levy on all tickets to events at the city's new stadium to put the cost on users rather than just rate payers. At the moment the plan is for stadium goers to pay an extra five dollars on top of their ticket price but only if they are seeing an international act. Its estimated ratepayers will be picking up the tab for the stadium for decades to come with 1.75 percent of their rates going to cover costs. Councillor Yani Johanson spoke to Lisa Owen.

Grammy winning country pop star Maren Morris has made her way to New Zealand as a headlining act. After starting at just 15 years old, her 20 year career has seen her break boundaries, win numerous awards, and producing multiplatinum and gold certified music. Morris is a few shows into her ‘Dreamsicle' tour, having performed in Australia and Auckland, with one more show in Christchurch before she hops over to the States. She told Mike Hosking headlining her own tour has been incredible. “We've only done a handful of shows, but the crowds are so energetic, and they're also a listening crowd,” Morris explained. “They really want to hear the stories behind the songs and how they were written ... it's a great balance of like, y'know, they want to hear the backstories, but they're also having fun and dancing.” “It's a perfect crowd.” Morris' career started early, but that doesn't mean her success came early as well, which she says made the transition easier to handle. “Nothing of my career has happened overnight, or has been like, too quick to digest.” “The saying in Nashville is that it's a ten-year town, so it takes ten years for most of the successful people to even have a song or album that resonates,” Morris told Hosking. “I think there's obviously with any big success, there is a dose of timing and luck, all of those things.” “You just have to keep going and keep your eye on the target because it is ever moving.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Concerns have been raised over a new app that was originally designed to help Christchurch ratepayers - but hasn't lived up to its promise. Christchurch City Council staff have so far spent $6.2 million developing a one-stop-shop app that is actually little more than a new website, prompting outrage and worries from the Council. Christchurch City Councillor Sam MacDonald says the appointed IT experts are working through the issue to try and solve it. "We were a bit surprised when they came to us saying - no, no it'll be a web version. Which, as you know, a lot of people don't use. We need to make it as easy for people as possible."

New Zealand has a reputation for being breathtaking—but what is it actually like to experience it by cruise? In this episode, I'm sharing a port-by-port review of my New Zealand itinerary, including Waiheke Island in Auckland, a pearl farm and beachcomber cruise in Picton, Lord of the Rings filming locations in Christchurch, wildlife encounters in Dunedin with Nature's Wonders, and scenic cruising through Milford Sound. Next week, I'll also share my honest review of the ship and explain why it plays such a big role when cruising to destinations like New Zealand. If New Zealand is on your travel list, or you're curious whether a cruise is the right way to experience it, this episode offers a grounded, realistic look at what makes this destination so special.
